Finding Courage In the Midst of Fear
So many challenges cross one's path
in the course of life many more than one
this all created a real fear deep down
what could one do? this wasn't any fun
When fear comes it ties a knot
how do you untie this in your tum?
all your nerve ends are tangled up
this dilemma all makes one glum
But there is a way to rise again
and paradoxically it's to go down
on your knees no less to bow
to the one who wears a crown
Speak to the God of the universe
for He will give you courage full
then you'll can put your fear behind
so gaining victory being nobody's fool
Now that is a way to win your battle
finding courage in the midst of fear
put your fear below you forcibly
receive God's courage keep in top gear
(Beverly Lewis quotation:
"Courage is fear on its knees.")
