The Costs of Fear

The Costs of Fear
 
Fear is a thief, it steals our might,
And clouds our vision, obscures our sight.
It makes us doubt, it makes us shrink,
And causes our hearts to tremble and sink.
 
It makes us forget what God has said,
And makes us think we're alone and dead.
It leads us to lie, to deceive and betray,
And makes us lose our righteous way.
 
It makes us irrational and leads us to sin,
And makes us flee where we should begin.
It paralyzes us and makes us hide,
And keeps us from the journey inside.
 
But we need not fear, for God is near,
To help us fight and calm our fear.
We need to trust and do the impossible,
For God is faithful and always reliable.
 
We must remember His promises are true,
And let His love, renew and refresh anew.
For fear may come but it can't abide,
When God is with us by our side.
 
So let us not fear but trust in Christ’s name,
And do the impossible without shame.
For in His hands, we'll never fall,
And fear will lose its grip on us all.
