HOW MUCH COURAGE
HAVE YOU GOT
How much courage have you got
How hard have worked
How long have you fought
To get to this place in your life
Which you have always sought
Had to get to this place
In order to get to the next stage
I remember-planning it all so
well
In my idle thoughts
Now again
When all looks lost
I get this urge-to throw in the towel
Even if-it’s only for awhile
But somehow-I have to remain
strong
Even when my life
Is turning out all wrong
How much courage have you got
Do you remember how hard that
you fought
Can you rise to the occasion again
To fight a battle-you know you can’t win
But maybe just holding your
own-is a win
Can you rise to the occasion again
Remember how hard that you fought
Do you want to throw in the towel
How much courage have you got
It comes from inside-but I can’t
say where
I want to quit
But I searched all through me-and there is NO QUIT in there
And somehow-I continue to care
I fight through the hopelessness and fear
And with the future-looking so very bleak
And feeling like I have been thrown
To the snakes in the pit
I do things-others would never dare
How much courage have you got
How hard have you worked
How long have you fought
Do you want to throw in the
towel
If you do-then do it now
You got the towel in your hand
But the hand is not moving anywhere
Because you can’t
You’ve been in too many tight
spots
The things that you have learned
And the things that you have taught
To let it all go for not
How much courage have you got
How long have you worked
How hard have you fought
To get to this place in your life
Which you have always sought
Had to get to this place
In order to get to the next stage
Can you rise to the occasion
again
To fight a battle that you
know-YOU CAN’T WIN
But holding on is a win
And as long as you got life
You will find the COURAGE
To do it again and again
Robert P. Wallman

Ps “The
following night the Lord stood near Paul and said,
“TAKE
COURAGE! As you have testified in
So you
must also testify in
“Be on your guard-stand firm in the
faith
Be men of COURAGE
DO
EVERYTHING IN LOVE” 1
Corinthians 16-13
