Don'T Be Afraid Trust In God - Psalm 56: 3

So many things can make us afraid
letting Satan suggest so many lies
it's a crippling effect when afraid
tares at your heart causing your cries

Look up to God to give you faith
learn to trust Him for all He's done
all His promises are sure and amen!
stand strong, hold fast, never to run

Be sure of God's inerrant word
it's all true with no error at all
give praise to God for every word
divinely given with heavens call

In God alone, I put my complete trust
to know His favor is never to be afraid
looking to my savior who is in control
who on Calvary's cross my sin was paid

God is greater than the flesh of man
what can man do to God's own
God watches them at every moment
in His hand so safe flesh and bone

(Psalm 56:3 (ESV)
"When I am afraid, I put my trust in you. In God whose word I praise, in God I trust, I shall not e afraid. 'What can flesh do to me?")
