Grant Us Courage
by Erwin Cabucos

For the times we may've been blinded by our pride
And lose the days we could shine
For the times we lavish ourselves selfishly
Having hearts of stone, 'to others unfairly
 
Grant us, Lord, the courage to become the people we are called
To be human in the spirit of love
Grant us, Lord, the wisdom to discern the purpose of life
To show the face of Christ by being kind

For the times we may have failed to act in mercy
And choose to give the deed of apathy
For the times we do the ease to criticise
Than offer hope and best advice

(Refrain)

For when we fear the challenges of life
In our room of comfort zone, we choose to hide
For the times we doubt your presence in ourselves
And limit our chance to do our best

(Refrain)
