The Acappella Company - Be Strong and Courageous Lyrics

Be Strong and Courageous sets a direct biblical command within a compact song of reassurance. Its opening language closely follows Deuteronomy 31:6: courage is possible because the Lord goes with his people and does not forsake them. The chorus repeats that promise in a call-and-response pattern, allowing the central truth to remain clear throughout the song.

A second verse extends the theme from fear to daily hardship. Trouble and strife are acknowledged rather than minimized, yet God is pictured as going ahead and providing protection. The repeated return to the first verse and chorus gives the lyrics a memorization-friendly shape, fitting a song built around Scripture. Courage here is not presented as self-confidence or denial of danger. It rests on God's faithful presence. The song therefore functions both as encouragement and as a concise confession that fear need not rule when the Lord accompanies his people.
