This week’s featured song story comes to us from Bethel Music. We’re excited to share with you the story behind their single “Take Courage (feat. Kristene DiMarco).”
“I wanted to sing about the story of Jehosophat in the Bible where God said you won’t have to fight in this battle, just stand still and watch. The enemy actually turned on itself and destroyed themselves while they just worshipped God. And so I wanted to bring across the power that is actually in the waiting for God to come through for you. You’re in the waiting more than you feel like you’re actually arriving and I have to believe that he’s in the process with you.” – Kristene DiMarco (Bethel Music)

“Take Courage (feat. Kristene DiMarco)” Lyrics
Verse 1
Slow down take time
Breathe in He said
He’d reveal what’s to come
The thoughts in His mind
Always higher than mine
And He’ll reveal all to come
Chorus 1
Take courage my heart, stay steadfast my soul
He’s in the waiting, He’s in the waiting
Hold onto your hope, as your triumph unfolds
He’s never failing, He’s never failing
Verse 2
Sing praise my soul
Find strength in joy
Let His words lead You on
Do not forget
His great faithfulness
He’ll finish all He’s begun
Bridge
You who hold the stars
Who call them each by name
Will surely keep Your promise to me
That I will rise in Your victory
Chorus 2
Take courage my heart, stay steadfast my soul
He’s in the waiting, He’s in the waiting
Hold onto your hope, watch your triumph unfold
He’s never failing, He’s never failing
