Have I Not Commanded You?
Be Strong and Courageous!
"Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous!" are the words God spoke to Joshua as he prepared to lead the Hebrews into the Promised Land.
God said that He would be with Joshua, just as He had been with Moses.
This song is cheerful and strong-sounding; the piano accompaniment will require a bit of skill, but if necessary, a simple chord accompaniment can be made with one of the lead sheets.

Hi, I'm Dana! (Say that like "Anna".) I'm the owner of Music-for-Music-Teachers.com, and this newer site, SingTheBibleStory.com.
Like some of you, I've been playing the piano since early childhood, and have added a few other instruments along the way, plus an interest in arranging and composing music.
I also happen to love the Lord Jesus Christ, and the Christian worldview that portrays The Great War in the heavens, in which we here on earth are destined to be a part.
