Take courage

…(W)hen life seems uncertain
And there is no hint to find
…when tomorrow gives no promise
And today is passing just like a mist.

Take courage
…when you turn around and no one is to be found
And you feel lost in the maze as if you are gone.
…when you start to accept the truth that caused your hurt…
And come to realize it is time to move on.

Take courage
…because life is temporal and things will come to last.
The things we possess will not be ours for long,
And ash is the end of everything we yearn for.
It will only bring into light the temporal and the spiritual
That people value and fight as usual.

Take Courage, my soul
Because the battle is not yours,
it belongs to the Lord of Host
He has won the fight there at the cross
Just to be sure for eternity you will never be lost

Take courage Oh, my Soul!
You are not on your own,
precious is the price that you were bought for.
From beginning to the end you must carry on.
Until you realize that strength is possible for your weary soul
as you take courage In His presence alone.
