Inspired by lyrics to “If I Were Brave” by Jana Stanfield:  

I refuse to listen to the voice of fear.

So, the voice of courage whispers in my ear: “You cannot fail.”  And the wind always fills up my sail.

Like the mighty oak sleeps in the heart of the seed, there are miracles in you and me.

I am brave enough to move ahead, where true believers dare to tread, and never lose faith even when losing my way.

I trust the hero in me.  I am brave!

“Be brave and steadfast; have no fear or dread of them, for it is the LORD, your God, who marches with you; he will never fail you or forsake you" (Deut. 31:6).

I refuse to listen to the voice of fear.  So, the voice of courage whispers in my ear:
“You cannot fail.”  And the wind always fills up my sail.

“Be brave and steadfast; do not fear or lose heart . . . . .  You have available an unlimited supply . . . .  Set to work, therefore, and the LORD be with you!"  (I Chron. 22:13,16).

Like the mighty oak sleeps in the heart of the seed, there are miracles in you and me.

“God . . . has given us the Spirit . . . .  So we are always courageous . . . . for we walk by faith, not by sight” (II Corinthians 5:7).

I am brave enough to move ahead, where true believers dare to tread,
and never lose faith even when losing my way.

“Do not be afraid….  Nothing is concealed that will not be revealed, nor secret that will not be known.  What I say to you in the darkness, speak in the light; what you hear whispered, proclaim on the housetops….  Are not two sparrows sold for a small coin? Yet not one of them falls to the ground without your Father's knowledge.  Even all the hairs of your head are counted.  So do not be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows” (Mt. 10:26-31).
