I think each of us has given into fear, when it grips it is hard to see any way through, but then we hear the voice of the Lord and He leads us back into the light, everything changes, but still we let fear in, rather than trust in the Lord.
AFRAID by TENTH AVENUE NORTH
I don’t wanna be afraid
I don’t wanna be afraid anymore
When the world shakes
Feel my heart race
When the voices start again
Oh, the panics creeping in
Who will I listen to
Fear never told the truth
So I’ll wait on You tonight
Worries only wasted time
I don’t wanna be afraid
I don’t wanna be afraid anymore
Not like before, oh
I don’t wanna be afraid
I don’t wanna be afraid anymore
I’m safe in Your love, oh, Lord
In the future
You will return
We’ll watch the darkness break
And finally see Your face soon
Forever be alive
With Your Kingdom, death will die
So I’ll wait on You tonight
Worries only wasted time
I don’t wanna be afraid
I don’t wanna be afraid anymore
Not like before, oh
I don’t wanna be afraid
I don’t wanna be afraid anymore
I’m safe in Your love, oh, Lord
This world cannot take my treasure
This world doesn’t own my tears
My hope is alive in heaven
I will not give into despair
I don’t wanna be afraid
I don’t wanna be afraid anymore
I don’t have to be afraid
I don’t have to be afraid anymore
Oh, Lord
I don’t wanna be afraid
I don’t wanna be afraid anymore
Not like before, oh
I don’t wanna be afraid
I don’t wanna be afraid anymore
I’m safe in Your love, oh, Lord
Don’t wanna be afraid
(Don’t want, don’t want)
Don’t wanna be afraid anymore
(Don’t want, don’t want)
(Don’t want, don’t want)
I don’t wanna be afraid anymore
Don’t wanna be afraid
(Don’t want, don’t want)
I don’t wanna be afraid anymore
(Don’t want, don’t want)
(Don’t want, don’t want)
I don’t have to be afraid anymore
I have learned that while I may not have control of my emotions if I live from the spirit I can deny them and do what needs doing until the fear surrenders to the love of God channeled through my faith.
