By Linh Ly
When I think of the word “brave”, I think of soldiers going off to war or people who do extreme sports like skydiving or cliff jumping or people in history who lived out their convictions in the face of adversity. But during this last mission trip to Vietnam, God let me in on a personal adventure with him, which gave me another perspective of what it means to be brave.

Into your grace
You make me brave (2x)
You call me out beyond the shore into the waves
You make me brave (2x)

No fear can hinder now the promises you make
For you are for us
You are not against us
You made a way
Champion of Heaven
You make a way for all to enter in
