Fret Not

 

There is great evil in the world.
Darkness holds many hearts
Captive to anger and the sin
Which mindless rage imparts.
 
Let not the poison of the world
Infect your mind and soul.
Fret not, when evil shows its face,
For God is in control.
 
Don’t let your heart be infected
With that rage and despair,
For God’s Light still outshines the dark.
His love is everywhere.
 
Be still and wait, with faith in Him,
Trusting His perfect plan,
For God’s love does not fade or fail.
Fret not, oh child of man.
 
Psalm 37:7-8
Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for him; fret not yourself over the one who prospers in his way, over the man who carries out evil devices! Refrain from anger, and forsake wrath! Fret not yourself; it tends only to evil.
