Freedom from and Freedom to Fear
many had believed that Jesus was the one they placed their hope and desires
on God's only begotten son
they forever loved his teachings
and never forgot his preachings
yet they tried to sustain that faith
on memories from the past
they attempted to hold on to a recollection until the very last
but that concept is unsustainable
we must move forward in life
as we walk our Emmaus road
we must view Him as the living Christ
your past is a good reference
but must never become your now residence
because life is a continuous journey
that requires your now precedence
they were caught up in their pain
their grief was distorting their way
out of touch overwhelm much
unable to function from day to day
our unbelief stops us
from getting our godly affirmation
our unbelief halts us
from getting our godly confirmation
drowning in doubt, can't see no way out allowing unbelief to steal our joy
giving the adversary the ability
to now come in to steal, kill and destroy
freedom from and freedom to be
true disciples of Christ
freedom to and freedom from fear
as we live this Christian Life
don't ever stop believing in God
set disbelief and discouragement
to the side.
just keep perceiving that God
is driving the vehicle you now ride
as fear is paralyzing
it can stop you in your tracks
fear can be all-powerful
make you feel you're under attack
freedom to and the freedom from fear
free to trust that God
will forever be near
freedom from and freedom to now follow
the Holy Scriptures
freedom from fear and disbelieve
now focused on the full gospel picture
as God works all things according
to His purpose, intent and design
and as we commune in the remembrance of Him, we eat the bread and drink the wine
our eyes now wide open living in the today freedom from and the freedom to allow
God to lead our way
