1.
We will be brave for you were brave. 

We’ll risk it all because of you. 

And when they threaten cross and grave?

You went there first, and we will, too.

2.
We will be strong for you were strong.

We’ll disobey because of you.

And when they say, “Just go along”? 

You stood your ground, and we will, too.

3.
We will be bold for you were bold.

We’ll tell the truth because of you.

And when they try to still our souls?

The stones will shout, and we will, too.

4.
We will endure for you endured. 

We’ll carry on because of you.

And when they think our end is sure?  

You rose from death, and we will, too. 

5.
No one alone can ever be

enduring, strong, courageous, true.

But grant us, Christ, your company,

and we shall overcome like you.
