Be Not Afraid
You shall cross the barren desert,but you shall not die of thirst.
You shall wander far in safety
though you do not know the way.
You shall speak your words in foreign lands
and all will understand.
You shall see the face of God and live.
Refrain:
Be not afraid.
I go before you always.
Come follow me,
and I will give you rest.
If you pass through raging waters
in the sea, you shall not drown.
If you walk amid the burning flames,
you shall not be harmed.
If you stand before the pow'r of hell
and death is at your side,
know that I am with you through it all.
Blessed are your poor,
for the kingdom shall be theirs.
Blest are you that weep and mourn,
for one day you shall laugh.
And if wicked men insult and hate you all because of Me,
blessed, blessed are you!
Bob Dufford
Another song that came to mind in regards to Don's topic was a song called "Shelter Me."
When I cannot close my eyes,
And the night goes on.
Troubles taunt on every side,
And my doubt is strong.
Shelter me! Shelter me! Let the thought of your compassion be my strength.
Prince of peace, shelter me from tempest of my unbelief. Mighty God
Who calmed the sea, come, and shelter me.
Do Your promises still stand?
Does your mercy cease?
By the power of Your hand,
Grant me my release.
Bruce Carroll
