''Fear''
"FEAR"
FEAR IS AN AWFUL PHOBIA,
OF APPREHENSION AND ALARM;
IT MAKES ONE'S FLESH CREEP,
IN ANTICIPATION OF HARM!
IT CAUSES US TO TREMBLE,
WITH PALPITATIONS AND COLD SWEAT;
A DEEP RESTLESSNESS, A SHAKING ,
OF TERROR AND THREAT!
FEAR CAN REALLY STARTLE,
MAKING ONE'S BLOOD RUN COLD;
BUT WERE GIVEN POWER TO CONQUER FEAR,
BY FACING IT...AND BEING BOLD!
FOR GOD DIDN'T GIVE US A SPIRIT OF FEAR,
IT'S FROM THE BIBLE, THAT I QUOTE;
BUT OF POWER, LOVE AND A SOUND MIND,
THAT IS WHAT GOD WROTE.
WHEN FEAR COMES TO INTIMIDATE YOU,
DON'T QUIVER...NOR SIT IN DISMAY;
TAKE AUTHORITY OVER IT...IN GOD'S NAME,
AND IT WILL SURELY GO AWAY!
