Not Afraid

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

“Be not afraid”, You say to me,

Though I sometimes forget

And let the world bear down on me

With worry and regret.

 

Yet, when I lift my voice in prayer

Or sing a song of praise,

I remember who loved me first

And who numbered my days.

 

The little worries might remain,

But my sleep will be sweet,

For I know who keeps watch for me

And my peace is complete.

 

You never said I’d know no pain,

Life’s not a perfect place.

Yet I will face this life with hope,

For I live in Your Grace.

 

Proverbs 3:23-24

Then you will go on your way in safety, and your foot will not stumble. When you lie down, you will not be afraid; when you lie down, your sleep will be sweet.
