I should fear nothing as a woman of faith
Yet so many times fear takes control
I forget the worth of the souls around me
Seeing only my fears; I’m afraid to let go
I set my sights on what could be lost
I think with logic instead of God’s love
I worry about how “you” will deceive me
Never truly yielding to my protection above
Did my fear keep me silent in your darkest hour?
Would your heart have been open to witness God’s love?
Did my silence keep you from discovering your Father?
From feeling the acceptance from heaven above
My heart is grieving because you are no longer with us
I am praying that you believed; and had God in your life
Or did I trade a soul for the fear of losing possessions
Looking back now... wishing I could make things right
I will never give up on another of God’s children
I am praying you know I never gave up on you
I was seduced by time; living in the moment
Thinking “later on” I would witness His truth
Your soul is worth more than any earthly treasure
I would risk all… to have you whisper His name
To know you felt the comfort of true forgiveness
Your heart and soul…He would… forever claim.
