Power, Love and Sound Mind

For we do not have a spirit of fear
but of power, love and sound mind-
due to grace, our Savior is so near.

With his strength, not shedding tears-
he leads and I gladly follow behind-
for we do not have a spirit of fear.

His unconditional love I hold dear-
I, formerly held captive to bind
due to grace, our Savior is so near.

The truth of his "Word" is made clear-
better learning one cannot really find-
for we do not have a spirit of fear.

My mind renewed, now I truly hear-
struggles of life are not such a grind-
due to grace, our Savior is so near.

Focused praise keeps time in gear
on a path of order I'm now inclined
for we do not have a spirit of fear
due to grace, our Savior is so near.
