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 in our heads!
~~~~~~
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.”
