Lyrics

Dare to live for Je­sus!
Dare to brave­ly stand,
Ready when He calls you,
Waiting His com­mand.

Refrain

Dare to show your co­lors!
Dare to own your king!
Dare to be a Chris­tian!
Dare to serve and sing!

Dare to speak for Je­sus!
Dare to show the way
From this land of sha­dows
To the land of day.

Refrain

Dare to work for Je­sus!
He has work for you,
Something for His ser­vice,
Something you can do.
