A sacred hymn with music composed by Kevin G. Pace and text by Mary Ann Snowball. See text below:
Whether in the dark of night or in light of day,
Fear can grasp a waning heart, coaxing more to stay.
Like the disappearing warmth from a candles glow,
Fear that dims the Saviors love veils this vow to know:
Be not afraid, O be not afraid. I am thy rescue; Be not afraid.
Take hold my hand and trust with thy might.
Soon I will be in thy constant sight.
Whether false or presupposed, or sensed to be true,
Fear can grip a frenzied mind when a thought is new.
Like a weed in gardens sight, begging to belong,
Views that mask the Saviors face wont discern this song:
Be not afraid, O be not afraid. I am thy rescue; Be not afraid.
Take hold my hand and trust with thy might.
Soon I will be in thy constant sight.
Whether old or young in age, praying to be free,
Fear can hold a sinful soul, causing hope to flee.
With this heavy, lonely load seeking liberty,
Jesus is the only One (pr)offering his plea:
Be not afraid, O be not afraid. I am thy rescue; Be not afraid.
Take hold my hand and trust with thy might.
Soon I will be in thy constant sight.
