Commanded

Have I not Commanded You?
Be Strong
And Have a Good Courage
The Lord, Thy God is with Thee
Withersoever Thou Goest!
Withersoever Thou Goest!

I've Heard the roar of war in the silence
Felt the weight of fear pressed down like violence
But the voice of God Shook through the dread
Stand up my son, lift your Head

He didn't ask me to feel brave
He commanded me to obey
So I rise from the ashes
Steel in my veins
No retreat, no chains

Not by strength, not by Sword
But by the presence of the Lord
I've been commanded to rise
To be strong and unafraid
Even in the fire I
I won't run, I won't fade

The battle surrounds me
The shadows close in
But the Lord goes before me
Again and again

I was born for this moment
Not for comfort
But the storm the enemy whispers
But I don't conform

The commander of heaven
Is riding at my side
And when I step into darkness
He's the Flame that Guides

He said don't fear don't break
I am with you for my name's sake

I've been commanded to rise
To be strong and unafraid
Even in the fire I
I won't run, I won't fade

The battle surrounds me
The shadows close in
But the Lord goes before me
Again and again

Be strong, be bold
Don't look back
Don't fold

He slit the sea
He crushed the flame
He called me by my warrior name

You've been commanded to Rise
To be strong and unafraid
This is not a suggestion
It's the Call He made

Through every trial
Through every war
He goes with me now and forevermore

For the Lord Thy God is with Thee
Withersoever Thou Goest
