Basis for Boldness

"Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were unlearned and ignorant men, they marveled; and they took knowledge of them, that they had been with Jesus" (Acts 4:13).

Examining the life of those
Who spoke with boldness for our Lord,
It was because the Savior rose,
Their courage therefore was restored.

Religious leaders took offense,
Remembering that they had been
With Jesus, and the consequence
Was boldness in the face of men.

Let us likewise thus be found
With boldness seen in our behavior:
Courage in us shall abound
When we have been with Christ our Savior.
