Be Not Afraid (lyrics)

Be Not afraid

1.       You shall cross the barren desert

               But you shall not die of thirst

               You shall wander far in safety

               though you do not know the way.

               You shall speak your words to foreign men

               And  they will understand.           

               You shall see the face of God and live.

Refrain:  Be not afraid, I go before you always. 

                Come follow Me and I will give you rest.

2.       If you pass through raging waters

In the sea, you shall not drown.

If you walk amid the burning flames,

You shall not be harmed.

You shall stand before the power of hell

And death is at your side.

Know that I am with you through it all. (refrain)

3.       Blessed are your poor for the kingdom shall theirs.

Blest are you that weep and mourn for one day you shall

Laugh. And if wicked men insult and hate you all because

Of me, blessed, blessed are you. (refrain)
