Text Based On Psalms Chapter 5
For there is no faithfulness in their mouth;
their inward part is very wickedness;
their throat is an open sepulchre;
they flatter with their tongue.
Have Courage, My friend, To Say No!
When starting, my friend, on life's journey,
Along the grand highway of life;
You'll meet with a thousand temptations —
Each city with evil is rife.
This world is a stage of excitement,
There's danger wherever you go;
But if you are tempted to weakness,
Have courage, my friend, to say No!
Refrain
Have courage, my friend, to say No!
Have courage, my friend, to say No!
Have courage, my friend,
Have courage, my friend,
Have courage, my friend, to say No!
In courage, my friend, lies your safety,
When you the long journey begin,
Your trust in the heavenly Father
Will keep you unspotted from sin.
Temptations will go on increasing,
As streams from a rivulet flow;
But if you'd be true to your Savior,
Have courage, my friend, to say No!
Refrain
Be careful in choosing companions,
Seek only the brave and the true,
And stand by your friends when in trial,
Ne'er changing the old for the new;
And when by false friends you are tempted
The shame of false tongues to know,
With firmness, with patience and kindness,
Have courage, my friend, to say No!
Refrain
