Don't Be Afraid

Mac Lynch

When deep water curls around you and fear replaces faith,

When the floods would seem to overwhelm God's promises of grace,

When the fires seem overtaking and all seems torn and tossed,

Trust His Word, O truly listen, here Him say, "All is not lost."

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid.

I have redeemed you; you are mine; don't be afraid.

Don't be afraid, don't be afraid.

You are a precious child to me; don't be afraid."

I am with you thru the water, I'm with you thru the flood.

They will never overwhelm you: I have bought you with My blood.

Even though you walk thru fire, I'll go with you all the way.

I'm your Savior, truly listen, here Me say, these words I say:

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid.

I have redeemed you; you are mine; don't be afraid.

Don't be afraid, don't afraid.

You are a precious child to me; don't be afraid."

I feel that songs or books must never be a replacement for scripture. However, sometimes God uses a them to encourage us, remind us, or bring us back to Him. The song above is a song that God used to encourage me in the last few weeks. No matter how overwhelming life can be, all I need to do is trust His Word because He has promised to go with me through every trial and test.
