NOT AFRAID

WHO SHALL I FEAR? THE LORD IS MY SALVATION

I AM NOT AFRAID, HE IS MY LIGHT,

HE IS THE VERY STRENGTH OF MY BEING

I AM SAFE FROM HARM DAY OR NIGHT.

FOR IN TIMES OF TROUBLE HE SHALL HIDE ME

UNDER HIS WINGS OF ALMIGHTY LOVE,

IM THE SECRET PLACE OF HIS TABERNACLE,

I’M SAFE AS MY THOUGHTS ARE ON THINGS ABOVE.

I AM IN HIS PROTECTION ALL THE TIME

NO HARM WILL EVER COME TO ME,

SO I DON’T WORRY JESUS TAKES CARE OF THAT

I GAVE HIM MY LIFE AND HE SET ME FREE.

WHEN I AWAKE IN THE MORNINGS

AND I AM FEELING KIND OF DOWN,

AND IT FEELS LIKE I AM ALL ALONE

AND NO FRIEND CAN BE FOUND.

I JUST LIFT MY EYES TOWARD HEAVEN

AND SAY LORD, I NEED YOUR POWER,

TO HELP GET ME THROUGH THIS DAY

AND MAKE IT THROUGH HOUR BY HOUR.

HE REACHES DOWN AND TOUCHES ME

AND I SENSE HIS PRESENCE SO STRONG,

AND IT’S THEN THAT HE WHISPERS SWEET PEACE

AND SAYS, I’LL BE WITH YOU ALL DAY LONG.

THANK GOD FOR HIS MERCIES ON ME

THEY ARE NEW EACH AND EVERY DAY,

I START EACH DAY WITH A CLEAN SLATE

THANKING MY JESUS AS I GO ON MY WAY.

HIS LOVE AND MERCY IS YOURS FOR THE ASKING

HIS FORGIVNESS IS YOURS AND IT’S FREE,

ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS CALL ON HIM

THAT’S WHAT I DID, AND HE SAVED ME.
