Song Title: Be You Strong and of Good Courage
Composer: Ross F Jutsum (Chorus paraphrased from Joshua 8)
Performed by: The Young Ambassadors
Ambassador College - Young Ambassadors
When the baton passed from Moses
To Joshua years ago
The Eternal gave instruction
In the way that he should go
He promised to stay right by his side
To help him understand
Promised to be his strength and guide
To help hold up his hands
CHORUS
Be you strong and of good courage
This is what the Lord commands
To His people He'll divide
For an inheritance the land
Be you strong and of good courage
Keep the law and never turn
To the left or to the right hand
Then you'll prosper and you'll learn
You'll learn to meditate
Day and night
To savor happiness
And strive to always do what's right
Then you shall see success
Be you strong and of good courage
Hear these words and do attend
Be not afraid, nor be dismayed
And endure until the end
As we come on down through history
Unto the end-time age
Once again the baton has been passed
We turn another page
Examples have been written down
For all the world to read
Make sure you stand on solid ground
We surely must take heed
CHORUS
