When I’m Afraid ~

Whenever I am afraid,
and fear comes my way
I stop what I am doing
and to Jesus I pray.

For, I don’t want my fears,
to take away my calm
so I cast all my worries
right into His open palm.

Whenever I am frightened,
scared or panic-stricken
I go straight to the Lord
before by fear I’m sickened.

For, I don’t want my fears,
to influence my serenity
for it is in my Savior . . .
that I find true tranquility.

Whenever I am afraid,
and fear comes my way
I put my trust in Jesus . . .
to take my dread away!

Growing Trust ~

My trust in God,
just keeps growing
as into the unknown
each day I keep going.

For what I’m seeing,
in the world today
should leave me reeling
in disgust and dismay.

My trust in God,
just keeps evolving
with all in the world
that is transforming.

For what I’m hearing,
should fill me with fear
instead it draws me
to Him more ever near.

My trust in God,
just keeps on growing
the more evil I see . . .
lurking and roaming!

Psalm 56:3

What time I am afraid,
I will trust in thee.

1 Peter 5:8

Be sober, be vigilant;
because your adversary
the devil, as a roaring lion,
walketh about, seeking
whom he may devour:

Just Trust Jesus ~

When we’re in the dark,
Jesus sends us His light
when we’re in a battle
He’s there to help us fight.

When we are weak,
Jesus sends us assurance
when we are faint
He gives us endurance.

When we are alone,
Jesus draws us near
when we are frightened
He takes away our fear.

When we are worried,
Jesus makes us still
when we are unsure
He shows us His will.

When we’re loved as much,
as Jesus loves us . . .
it’s so very easy
in Him to just trust!

When Afraid, Trust ~

I put my trust in God,
whenever I’m afraid
for His Word keeps me
from becoming dismayed.

I’m told in my Bible,
that I daily read . . .
that to fear and dread
I should never heed.

So I call upon my Lord,
for Him to be my shield
so to fearfulness
my heart will not yield.

He gives me the faith,
to rise above my cares
as I release onto Him
my fainthearted prayers.

I put my trust in God,
instead of in my fear
by drawing closer to Him
so to keep Him ever near!

Fear Comes In Waves ~

Fear is like the ocean,
it comes in with a roar
knocking you off your feet
throwing you to the floor.

It swells and it rises,
with its pulsing sound
so that panic stricken
you’ll stay on the ground.

Fear is like thunder,
it scares as it rumbles
causing you to shake
in midst of your troubles.

It alarms and startles,
with each booming strike
filling you with dread
upon each clap of light.

Fear come in waves,
in and out it ebbs . . .
but, we who trust Jesus
don’t let it into our heads!

Psalm 56:3

What time I am afraid,
I will trust in thee.

“The Lord on high is mightier
than the noise of many waters,
yea, than the mighty waves
of the sea.”

when you feel the burn of fear
put your trust in Jesus . . .

Whenever I’m Afraid ~

Whenever I am afraid
and fear comes my way
I stop what I am doing
and to my Lord, I pray.

I won’t allow my fears,
to take away my calm
for in Jesus I do trust
to be my soothing balm.

In God’s loving-kindness,
He sent me His peace
and Jesus died for me
to see it wouldn’t cease.

I won’t allow my fears,
to influence my serenity
for it is in my Lord
I find my true identity.

Whenever I am afraid,
and fear comes my way
I put my trust in my Lord
to take my dread away!
