Be Strong And Courageous by Colin Buchanan is a song that speaks to both young and old.
Young ones need to learn that God has promised to always be with them and older folks need to be reminded again and again.
(Not because older folks are particularly forgetful, but because it can be a very frightening time of life)
We find it works well in congregational singing.
The call and echo part of the verses works well with men and women alternating.
Singing it as a group as a testimony over our little ones can be quite moving.

The lyrics:
Refrain:
Be strong and courageous
The Lord of the Ages
Holds all His little ones,
Safe by His side
Be strong and courageous
The Lord of the Ages
Holds all His little ones safe
1.
Do not fear the fire,
Do not fear the water,
Do not fear the thunder,
Jesus has conquered them all.
Be strong…
2.
Do not fear the darkness
Do not fear the sadness
Do not fear the sickness
Jesus has conquered them all
Be strong…
3.
Do not fear the enemy
Do not fear the poverty
Do not fear eternity
Jesus has conquered them all
Be strong…
