be not afraid

In the heart of the storm, when the winds fiercely blow, When the path is uncertain, and the pace is slow, When the night is darkest, and hope seems to fade, Remember these words, "Be not afraid." When the mountain is steep, and the climb is hard, When you're bruised and battered, and deeply scarred, When the world is unkind, and friendships seem to jade, Hold on to these words, "Be not afraid." When dreams are shattered, and tears freely flow, When the burden is heavy, and progress is slow, When faith is tested, and doubts invade, Embrace these words, "Be not afraid." For in the midst of chaos, a calm voice rings, A beacon of hope, in the pain life brings. A promise eternal, that will never fade, God's gentle whisper, "Be not afraid." So stand tall and strong, let your fears subside, With courage and faith, let God be your guide. For in every darkness, a light is displayed, In His loving arms, be not afraid.
