Be Strong

Be strong

We are not here to play

To dream, to drift

We have hard work to do

And loads to lift

Shun not the struggle

Face it 'tis God's gift

Be strong

Be strong

For the struggle is the forge of the soul

A gift from His hand

To make us whole

The climb is the purpose

The fire the way

To become who He knew

At the dawn of the day

Be strong

Be strong

Say not The days are evil

Who's to blame

And fold the hands and acquiesce

Oh shame

Stand up, speak out

And bravely, in God's name

It's the weight that gives us muscle

It's the wind that helps us stand

Every trial is a treasure

Placed within a steady hand

We are growing

We are becoming

Be strong

Be strong

For the struggle is the forge of the soul

A gift from His hand to make us whole

The climb is the purpose

The fire the way

To become who He knew

At the dawn of the day

Be strong

Be strong

Be strong

Face the struggle

Tis God's gift
