Be Not Affraid

During a cold winters night on a dark and lonely road
When no hope is in sight for there is so much owed 
With the sky now falling but the bottom so near
There is the One who is calling and His voice is so clear

When death has struck and tragedies so soon befall 
With only bad luck it feels like you're losing it all
Everyday being full of dissension now taking it's toll
His Name you only need mention and He will comfort your soul

With the enemy closing in and the battle seemingly lost
Oh my how your sin has come with a terrible cost
Seeming only to escalate as disaster is now so commonplace
This is not the time to wait in asking for God's Saving Grace

With so much now upon you and no where to turn
What are you going to do when will you ever learn
He is drawing you near, Jesus is calling you back
For He holds You so dear wanting to give you all that you lack

His love for you so profound it fills the Heavens with glory
For you He will ground as you read about His story(Bible)
Begin noticing His loving words to you as each day you have grown
And you too will know it's true that we never walk alone

This reads almost like one of St. Paul's letters. Good wording and rhyming in this piece.
