FEAR NOT
The sun streams through my window
As morning dawns again.
But darkness is my friend
As another day begins.
I cover my head and close my eyes
Withdrawing inside to stay.
Away from the sounds of mayhem
That come along with my days.
Events of the world crowd my mind
Of death and new life too.
The good somehow will follow the bad,
A method of happenstance due..
I could linger always in this state
But my Lord always brings me out.
There’s no way I can stay low.
He always makes me want to shout.
The blessings of each and every day
Far outweigh the sadness and blues.
The need for heavenly nourishment
Comes daily my cares to soothe.
Sadness is a state of mind
That follows me around.
Joy Unspeakable comes into my heart,
As whispers of “FEAR NOT” resound.
Salvation brings joy into my soul,
That no one can explain.
But sadness too, seeps it’s way in,
The human side is vulnerable, it comes again.
Remember joy is free to us all
But satan loves to steal.
Put on your coat of armour
And resist the things that are unreal.
My Lord tells me to “FEAR NOT”
The battle was waged and won.
Put your confidence in the GREAT I AM,
Your freedom has only begun! ! !

The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures:
he leadeth me beside still waters.
He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths
of righteousness for his name's sake.
Yea, though I walk through the valley of death,
I will fear no evil: for thou art with me;
thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
Thou preparest a table before me in the presence
of mine enemies; my cup runneth over.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me
all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the
house of the LORD for ever. |
