fear

i am not going

to let my fear of anyone

but my Lord, my Father, my Shepard,

rule my life, again.

i do not want to let my fear of

the things you aren't saying (but, oh, you must mean)

make me say things i don't think are true (make me lie, to you)

and make me feel ways i wish i didn't feel, yet feel almost every single day

I MAY BE AFRAID

OF YOU AND EVERYTHING YOU DO AND SAY

BUT I AM NOT GOING TO LET IT

TAKE ME OVER AGAIN

I WILL START TODAY

AND IF AND WHEN I FALL

I WILL CALL ON MY FATHER

AND PRAY FOR THE STRENGTH TO GET BACK UP AGAIN

I WILL START ANOTHER DAY

AND I WILL BE OKAY

BECAUSE I AM HIS

and i am His and i am His and i am His
