Fear
Many seeking God
Would long ago have found Him,
Were they in their deep despair
Not bound by fear.
Always they have heard talk
Of the ‘avenger’ of all sins,
And know they are burdened
With the damage of sin.
They believe that they are lost
And born for ruin.
They fear they are judged
By the One who sees all.
Thus the poor souls only plead
For ‘mercy’ for themselves,
And lack the courage to raise
Themselves to live in God.
The curse of fear must first go
Before they will one day find:
Him who is Love itself
And keeps all who love in mind…
