Antidote To Every Fear

Dwelling in our earthly tent
life throws at us many an assault
within our lives every kind of fear
Satan whispers it’s your fault

But God has a much better plan
a remedy to cast away every fear
whatever they are thick and thin
the Lord takes away every tear

He tells us to trust truly in Him
leave out worldly cares at His feet
for His mercy is able to overcome
whatever our woes He will meet

This God is indeed truly great
His arms eternal and faithful
holding us whenever we fall
this saviour is our precious jewel

So fear not God continually says
put your hand securely in mine
never will I leave nor forsake you
His promises are our abiding sign

Another jewel Gordon, I love your words and fully need to embrace this truth. The world throws so much sorrow and fears our way, but He is the Truth, the Light that lights up the darkness of this life. He can never ever lie, in Him, there our hope endures. Thank you for writing this, God bless you. Again, a fave for me.
