The enemy tries to destroy lives
He thrives on darkness, dread and death
He likes to tell the spirit lies
He whispers fear into the depths of men
Taking away their faith in God’s plan
When one repents and believes in Him
Who was sent into the world
To bring the soul salvation from hell
And give us hope of a heaven above
Where there will be unconditional love –
The fear of death is less powerful
The fear we felt when under conviction
Fear that reminded us we need a Savior
One who will redeem our heart and soul
From the sin we need deliverance from…
Is a fear that should be no more
Once we’ve been introduced to the Savior
The One who made a way for us
At the foot of the cross, there is salvation
The fear of the Lord, a reverential fear
Is such a wise feeling, a fear
That reminds us we are small, an child, in His sight
And He can, like any good Father,
Chastise us for our sin – even though
We don’t always understand
Fear is the devil’s tool to fool us
Into believing we’re not the children of God
Never allow your heart to fall under
The spell of the enemy who would like you to believe
You aren’t really saved, - you’re still going to hell
Know that our Father,
Who is deserving of our reverent fear,
Will never leave us nor forsake us
We can never be plucked from His grasp
Even though He may chastise us for sin
He will never let us fall into hell
Where the devil hopes to obscure our faith
Beneath the darkness of his hatred
We are children of the living God
And He is abiding inside our hearts
Never let the devil put fear inside you
That produces a fear that should have been
Put behind you when you were saved
By the gift of grace poured out on us
Who place our faith in God’s Son, Jesus Christ
John 10:28 (KJV) 28 And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.
