No Fear

When your heart
is being torn asunder
and completely
being ripped to shreds;
when your spirit's 
being crushed 
by that heavy, 
heavyweight,
"DO NOT COWER!!!"....
and...."DO NOT DREAD!!!"

When you're standing
"TOE TO TOE"
with the devil,
and you're 
outnumbered
and....
"YOU'RE OUTGUNNED!!!"-
then look that devil 
right straight in his eyes-
"BE DETERMINED!!!!"....
say.... 
"I WILL NOT RUN!!!"

When being met 
with a challenge
and.... 
"there's no way in Hell"
to surmount,
then take that dare
without the slightest care,
and "BOLDLY REFUSE!!!".... 
to dismount!

When the sky 
above is falling 
and the ground 
right beneath your feet,
should open up.... 
to swallow you whole!!!...
"IN NO WAY!!!".... 
should you retreat!

When you're faced 
with the 
"TEN THOUSAND!!!!"....
who desire, 
with blood, 
your demise,
to shake their belief 
and cause them great doubt,
"DON'T BLINK"....
look them straight 
in their eyes!

When it's time 
to walk 
through the valley,
and confront 
the "shadow of death",
just brace yourself,
stand up....stand tall,
"GET READY!!!"....
and take that deep breath!

When everything else 
around you
is blocking the light 
of "HIS" love,
just know that "HE" 
is right there with you,
sending.... 
"POWER and MIGHT!!!....  
from above!

Life will always 
present it's trials-
out of nowhere 
they will appear!
All you can do,
and believe....
this is true....
"HAVE COURAGE!!!.... 
shout out loud....
"NO FEAR!!!",
"NO FEAR!!!",
"I'VE....
"NO FEAR!!!",
"NO FEAR!!!.......
