My servant, now your time has come
You have a job to do
I have a people to be led
And a willing heart in you
So I give you strength and courage
And I'll hide you in my hand
For Joshua, you gotta live for your call
Take my people to their land
Chorus:
So be strong and courageous
So be strong and courageous
You know you gotta be strong and courageous
So be strong and courageous
Never should you fear my call
Just listen obey
Discouragement need never fal
Stand on the words I say
You know I led your fathers here
And you know I'll lead you too
Inscribe my law into your soul
And nothing will touch you
