Forbidden Fears

"In the fear of the Lord is strong confidence: and His children shall have a place of refuge" (Proverbs 14:26). "Fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear Him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell. Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? And one of them shall not fall on the ground without your Father. But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear ye not therefore, ye are of more value than many sparrows" (Matthew 10:28-31).

Fear not them, our Savior said,
Who kill the body, not the soul.
Fear and love the Lord instead,
For He alone is in control.

Fear not, thinking you're not known,
For God knows every beast and bird;
Yet how much more has Jesus shown,
His love for us in deed and word!

Fear not, therefore, you are worth
The price He paid upon the cross.
That is why He came to earth
To save us from such dreadful loss.
