FEAR

I’m not nearly as brave
As I thought I’d be.

Sometimes fear rises inside of me,
That awful feeling
That I try to hide.
This tide melts courage away -
Feels like it’s there to stay.
And only Jesus is near
To quell my fear.

Jesus is my only friend!
Down to the end
With me He will stay
And take that awful fear away!

- Jo Jean DeCristoforo -
