Lyrics

We were made to be cou ra geous, we were made to lead the way.

We could be the gen er a tion that fi n’lly breaks the chains.

We were made to be cou ra

geous.

(E)We were made to be cou ra

geous.

We were war riors on the front lines, stand ing un a fraid,

but now we’re watch ers on the side lines while our fam ’lies slip a way.

Where are you, men of cour age?

You were made for so much more.

Let the pound ing of our hearts cry, “We will serve the Lord!”

We were made to be cou ra geous, and we’re (A)tak ing back the fight.

We were made to be cou ra geous, and it (F#m7)starts with us to night.

The on ly way we’ll ev er stand is on our knees with lift ed hands.

Make us cou ra

geous.

(E)Lord, make us cou ra

geous.

This is our res o lu tion, our an swer to the call.

We will love our wives and chil dren; we re fuse to let them fall.

We will re ig nite the pas sion that we bur ied deep in side.

May the watch ers be come war riors, let the men of God a rise.

We were made to be cou ra

Seek jus tice, love mer cy, walk hum bly with your God.

Seek jus tice, (A)love mer cy, walk hum bly with In your the war of the mind, I will make my stand, in the bat (Dmaj7)tle of the heart and the bat (Esus)tle of the hand.

In the war of the mind, I will make my stand, in the bat (Dmaj7)tle of the heart and the bat (Esus)tle of the hand.

We were made to be cou ra geous, and we’re (A)tak ing back the fight.

We were made to be cou ra geous, and it (F#m7)starts with us to night.

The on ly way we’ll ev er stand is on our knees with lift ed hands.

Make us cou ra

geous.

(E)Lord, make us cou ra

geous.

We were made to be cou ra

geous.

(E)Lord, make us cou ra

geous.

(E)We were made to be cou ra

geous.

(E)Lord, make us cou ra

geous.

(E)We were made to be cou ra ...walk hum bly with your God.
