Welome Words

"Thou drewest near in the day that I called upon Thee: Thou saidst, Fear not. O Lord, Thou hast pleaded the causes of my soul; Thou hast redeemed my life" (Lamentations 3:57,58).

God has said "Fear not" to me,
And that is quite enough
To calm my fears, to make me free,
And smooth the pathway rough.

A billion reasons wait in line
Persuading me to fear.
What are these, since Christ is mine,
And He has drawn so near?

Oh what welcome words of grace:
"Fear not!" our God has spoken.
He pleads our cause, He makes His case,
And heals the heart that's broken.

These are welcome words indeed:
Our Lord has said, "Fear not!"
The blood of Christ shall for us plead,
For by His blood we're bought.
