Courageous

 

(Mark Hall, Matthew West)

We were made to be courageous
We were made to lead the way
We could be the generation
That finally breaks the chains
We were made to be courageous
We were made to be courageous

We were warriors on the frontlines
Standing unafraid
But now we’re watchers on the sidelines
While our families slip away
Where are you, men of courage
You were made for so much more
Let the pounding of our hearts cry
“We will serve the Lord”

We were made to be courageous
And we’re taking back the fight
We were made to be courageous
And it starts with us tonight
The only way we’ll ever stand
Is on our knees with lifted hands
Make us courageous
Lord, make us courageous

This is our resolution
Our answer to the call
We will love our wives and children
We refuse to let them fall
We will reignite the passion that we bury deep inside
May the watchers become warriors
Let the men of God arise

Seek justice, love mercy
Walk humbly with your God
In the war of the mind I will make my stand
In the battle of the heart and the battle of the hand

food hygiene You may be surprised to learn that most food poisoning actually originates from our own homes. It is usually down to sloppy hygiene and a lack of attention to how we prepare our food.

home security tips In most cases, criminals try to avoid homes that are being monitored. Why? It is simple: they thrive on getting in and out of a home as quickly as possible. Anything that might alert people to their presence: an alarm; a barking dog and yes, a surveillance camera, will send that mischief maker off to the next house and leave you and your family home alone.home security tips

home furniture ideas Treat your pet for fleas. If you don't, the pet will jump on the furniture and get new fleas on it that will multiply and cause a new infestation. You can get a flea treatment from your vet or use an over-the-counter flea treatment.

motor bike training You will be shown basic scooter skills and asked to complete several maneuvers. This is usually done on private land and not on the road.

Recently, I woke up one morning from a good night's sleep with the chorus of "Courageous" playing in my mind. You know how it is when you first wake up in the morning. You are all groggy sometimes, and you are just trying to wake up. Well, I knew because I woke up singing this song in my head that the Holy Spirit had used it to minister to me through the night while I was sleeping. I got to work, and found out why. At work, I met my new co-worker, a guy who says he is a deist, and he is married to an atheist who hates Christians. This is going to be fun!!! Thanks guys for staying sensitive to the Spirit of God. We were meant to be Courageous!
