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.")
