Words by Brian Wooten

Music by Jim Cooper & Brian Wooten



The fearless giant faced a brave young shepherd boy

He said, "Your God is dead and your nation soon destroyed"

But the son of Jesse proved what God can do in the heart of a hero



Three men refused to bow to the idol made of gold

They knew they could burn for not doing what they're told

They'd rather face the fire than to kneel to a god made by hands



Chorus



It takes the heart of a hero

To stand for what's right

It takes the heart of a hero

To lay down your life



There are idols to be worshipped and giants in the land

They'll drag you down, attack your faith and slay you if they can

So let your heart be filled with the courage and strength of the Lord



Repeat chorus



Have the faith of a child

And the power of God

And when you call on His name

He will give you the heart of a hero



Will you stand for what's right?

Would you lay down your life?

Do you have heart?



Repeat chorus
