Why Fear?

When your day is grey,

And you see no other way,

Fold your hands and pray,

You will hear Him say:

"Why fear when I am here?"

When your eyes are full of tears,

And you are enveloped with fears,

He will say: "My dear,

Why fear when I am here?"

When you have no other go,

And your mind sways to and fro,

Pray to Him, His grace will flow,

Assuring you: "Why fear when I am here?"

When the six enemies pull you down,

A hand will pick you up soon,

A protective hand and a kindly face

Telling you softly: "Have my grace;

Don't fear when I am near."
