Be Not Afraid

Take a moment for yourselves. Read the lyrics. Take a deep breath. Close your eyes, take another deep breath and feel peace.

You shall cross the barren desert, but you shall not die of thirst.


You shall wander far in safety, though you do not know the way.

You shall speak your words in foreign lands, and all will understand, you shall see the face of God and live.

Be not afraid, I go before you always, come follow me, and I shall give you rest.

If you pass through raging waters in the sea, you shall not drown. If you walk amidst the burning flames, you shall not be harmed.

If you stand before the power of hell and death is at your side, know that I am with you, through it all

Be not afraid, I go before you always, come follow me, and I shall give you rest.

Blessed are your poor, for the Kingdom shall be theirs. Blest are you that weep and mourn, for one day you shall laugh.

And if wicked men insult and hate you, all because of me, blessed, blessed are you!

Be not afraid, I go before you always, come follow me, and I shall give you rest.
