What are You Afraid Of?

There are songs that capture the heart and seem like God wrote them that very moment just for me. For me these last few months they include: "Blessed Be Your Name" -Matt Redman,  "In Christ Alone" -Mercy Me, "Thy Will' - Hillary Scott, "Even If" - Mercy Me, "Held" -Natalie Grant, "Oh My Soul" - Casting Crowns,  and "It is Well'-Kristen Dimarco. God has ministered to my soul repeatedly through these words of truth. They capture the angst, the sorrow, the questions, the hope of my soul. When I struggle to pray and hear and find the words to say, He stills my soul and meets me through music whispering words of truth and comfort. Today he met me through a new one even as I wrestle with fears that overwhelm he met me. Praise God for this blessing as he asks me, "What are you afraid of?" Praise God that he promises that He is in control and I am covered by his grace. Praise God that he is trustworthy.

So what are you afraid of
Show 'em what you're made of
The shadows that you're scared of
Are usually your own
They're not the great unknown
You don't have to wonder
You're not going under
Grace has got you covered
God is in control
Go on and let it go
Whenever it's the darkest
Whenever it's the hardest
Don't you stop before you started
If you're gonna dream
Dream it all the way
So what are you afraid of
Show 'em what you're made of
The shadows that you're scared of
Are usually your own
They're not the great unknown
You don't have to wonder
You're not going under
Grace has got you covered
God is in control
Go on and let it go
What are you afraid of
