Songs About Courage: 8 Great Christian Songs

Jun 25, 2014

Christian music is driven by our faith in Jesus Christ and with that faith comes a boldness to proclaim the Gospel and have no fear. We can be courageous and bold while being kind and gentle to those we are telling about Christ. As the old hymn goes, “Life is worth the living just because HE lives!” So, it’s up to you and me to live lives worthy of the calling of God and be courageous as we stand for Jesus daily. Here are 8 great Christian songs that can motivate you to be courageous in a world that is rebellious against God.

8. Move, Mercy Me

Favorite Lyric – “No matter what may come, gotta move to a different drum. No matter what life brings, gotta move gotta move to a different beat.”

7. Gold, Britt Nicole

Favorite Lyric – “So don't let anybody tell you that you're not loved and don't let anybody tell you that you're not enough. Yeah there are days that we all feel like we're messed up, but the truth is that we're all diamonds in the rough. So don't be ashamed to wear your crown. You're a king; you're a queen inside and out. You glow like the moon, you shine like the stars. This is for you, wherever you are.”

6. Unbreakable, Fireflight

Favorite Lyric – “God, I want to dream again. Take me where I've never been. I want to go there. This time I'm not scared. Now I am unbreakable, it's unmistakable. No one can touch me. Nothing can stop me.”

5. Awake And Alive, Skillet

Favorite Lyric – “I'm at war with the world cause I ain't never gonna sell my soul. I've already made up my mind. No matter what I can't be bought or sold.”
Bonus Lyric – “I'm awake I'm alive. Now I know what I believe inside. Now it's my time. I'll do what I want 'cause this is my life. Here (right here), right now (right now). I'll stand my ground and never back down. I know what I believe inside. I'm awake and I'm alive.”

4. What Faith Can Do, Kutless

Favorite Lyric – “Everybody falls sometimes. Gotta find the strength to rise from the ashes and make a new beginning. Anyone can feel the ache. You think it's more than you can take. But you're stronger, stronger than you know. So, don't you give up now. The sun will soon be shining. You gotta face the clouds to find the silver lining.”

3. Frontline, Pillar

Favorite Lyric – “It's not like I'm walking alone into the valley of the shadow of death. Stand beside one another, 'cause it ain't over yet. I'd be willing to bet that if we don't back down you and I will be the ones that are holding the crown in the end.”

2. Courageous, Casting Crowns

Favorite Lyric – “We were made to be courageous and we're taking back the fight. We were made to be courageous and it starts with us tonight. The only way we'll ever stand is on our knees with lifted hands. Make us courageous. Lord, make us courageous.”

1. Fearless, For Today

I love this song so much so I’m giving you the lyrics for the whole song! For Today is a metal band that is influencing many young people for Jesus!

[3x]
We will not

We will not

We will not

Be afraid

We will not

We will not

We will not

We are fearless

Fearless

We bear the mark of the uncreated God

So what should we fear?

We bear the scars of the Holy risen Son

So tell me what should we fear?

Every threat is hollow

Because our victory is already set in stone

We are the fearless ones

[2x]

We will not

We will not

We will not

Be afraid

[2x]

Though we stand in this dark valley

We will not be afraid

For we know that You are near

You are near

I can feel the courage rising

In the hearts of the sons of God

I can feel a fire burning

Across the earth we stand as one

We are not dismayed by the darkness

That surrounds us here

Because we know that when all hell closes in

If we stand and fight we are not alone

Though we walk through the valley of the shadow of death

We are not alone

We will fear no evil for You are near

We are the fearless ones

[2x]

We will not

We will not

We will not

Be afraid

[2x]

Though we stand in this dark valley

We will not be afraid

For we know that You are near

You are near

He can't stop the kingdom

You'll see him bow at the throne on Judgment day

So let the devil come

We are fearless

Fearless

So let the devil come
