lyrics

DARE TO DO GREAT THINGS

Every single day is a mystery to me,
A puzzle to be solved, a secret code I have to break
A map without a legend, or a scale or compass rose
A game with rules in a different tongue, a precious stone that might be fake

Chorus:
And in the noise and confusion am I listening for the voice
To call me to the chance to do more than I have ever dreamed
Am I training and preparing for the day I face my choice
And will I live up to your faith in me . . . will I dare to do great things?


In my head and in my dreams I would love to be a hero
I would save the day or pave the way for a hard-fought victory
But I'm a coward deep at heart, fighting off the urge to turn and run
How can I overcome my fears and be the man I want to be?

Chorus

Bridge:
Am I afraid of failing, or more scared I might succeed?
Could it ever be that daily tasks can turn into mighty deeds?
Or if I trap myself in the mundane, will I leave the great undone?
When the call comes, will I leave my nets, and dare to walk beside the Son?

Chorus 2
But in the noise and confusion I am listening for the voice
That's calling me to the chance to be more than I have ever dreamed
I am training and preparing for the day I face my choice
And I will hold fast to your faith in me . . . when I dare to do great things --
My appointment with my destiny . . . when I dare to do great things --
When I dare to do great things --
When I dare ... to do great things!
