[Verse 1 – Deuteronomy 31]
Moses stood before the crowd,
his voice was steady, clear, and loud,
“Yahweh goes before you today,
won’t leave you along the way.
Though the journey’s long and hard,
don’t let fear inside your heart,
Dig your heels in, stand your ground
— I promise, you’re safe and sound.”
[Pre-Chorus]
You don’t need to know His plan,
Just believe His words and stand!
[Chorus]
Be strong and courageous! (That’s what He said!)
Stand firm and unshaken! (Lift up your head.)
Take hold, and never let go,
Press on through the unknown,
Be strong and courageous — hold fast, ‘n move ahead!

[Verse 2 – Joshua 1]
Joshua heard Yah’s command,
“Lead My people, take the land.
Keep My Law within your sight.
Meditate on it day and night,
Do not tremble, never yield,
My presence will be your shield.
Every place your foot shall tread —
I’ve given you,” Yahweh said.

[Pre-Chorus]
Faith grows from what is known,
Firmly stand on what He’s shown!

[Chorus]
Be strong and courageous! (That’s what He said!)
Stand firm and unshaken! (Lift up your head.)
Take hold, and never let go,
Press on through the unknown,
Be strong and courageous — hold fast, ‘n move ahead!


[Bridge – 2 Chronicles 15 / Isaiah 35]
Strengthen the weak hands,
Steady your knees,
Tell the anxious,
“Your Father sees,”
For Yahweh comes with might to save,
Redeems His own from death and grave.
Take firm hold! Don’t run away,
The King of Glory leads the way!

[Final Chorus / Refrain]
Be strong and courageous — (Rise up O’ men!)
Stand firm! (Unmovable to the end!)
Hold fast— don’t lose your place,
Press on in Yahweh’s grace,
Be strong and courageous — dig in, never bend!

[Outro]
Chazaq ve’ematz — stand your ground,
Hold fast, and blessings will abound.
Chazaq ve’ematz — stand your ground,
Hold fast, and blessings will abound.

Be strong… and courageous.
Be strong… and courageous.
Be strong… and courageous.
