Faith Over Fear

Hebrews 11:1-3

Faith is being certain of what for we hope,
On things that are unseen but must cope;
Through faith our knowledge of this world,
Be shown as the Word of God is unfurled;
Then what is seen are not as they appear,
For ending all of the worries and the fear.
People having questions and some doubt,
Just what the great mysteries are all about;
For the future ventures into the unknown,
Feeling as though you will face it alone;
Just as a horror movie that you go to see,
Hearing some woman scream for to plea;
Your own fear builds as the music plays,
A suspenseful tune as your mind strays;
Suddenly of hearing a shot in the dark,
Causing your heartbeat to skip its mark;
It is our lack of faith that scares us so,
Worry on things that we do not know;
Build your faith by trusting in the Lord,
Who will relieve your fears as a reward.
