Be strong and be brave. Don’t shiver or shake.
Don’t run from the thunder or fear what’s at stake.
For God is right with you, as close as your skin.
He’s not on the outside. He’s working within.
You don’t have to tremble. You don’t have to flee,
No matter how mighty the trouble may be.
You’re never forgotten, not even a bit.
God walks right beside you and won’t ever quit.
Some people may leave you, or fail to be true.
They might turn their backs when you most need a crew.
But God will stay with you. He’s loyal and kind,
He won’t disappear or get lost in the grind.
So stick close to him. Don’t wander or drift.
Don’t treat him like someone you easily shift.
Be faithful, be steady, and don’t toss him aside.
Stay near to the One who’s always by your side.
