We receive God’s lovingkindness as a promise from our past,
We conceive we’ll build a future where we’ll know peace at last
We have chosen love and justice as the legacy we leave
Give us courage, courage to believe.

Believe that there is power in every choice we make,
Believe that there is value in every risk we take,
Believe that there is honor in every truth we speak
give us courage, give us courage to believe

We have torn down walls and barriers that divide us on this earth
We have built up hope and now we know just what our freedom’s worth
We can almost see the promise of the vision we received
You’ve given us the courage, courage to believe.

Believe that there is power in every choice we make,
Believe that there is value in every risk we take,
Believe that there is honor in every truth we speak
So give us courage, give us courage to believe

We know there is a boundless love that will always hold us fast,
And there’s an everlasting truth which will set us free at last,

Believe that there is power in every choice we make,
Believe that there is value in every risk we take,
Believe that there is honor in every truth we speak
So give us courage, give us courage to believe

May we always have the courage, the courage to believe.
