There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear. For fear has to do with punishment, and whoever fears has not been perfected in love. 1 John 4:18 ESV

Worry wrapped around my hands and caught my feet
Fears chased me through the town down every street
Until I found I had no place to hide
Though I looked still alive inside I died

For I had tried my best with all I could
Yet inside me I knew there was nothing good
And I wondered if there was some other way
Till in the quiet I began to pray

“God I know You’re there, but I can barely see
And I’m grateful for the grace You’ve given me.”
Then I saw in Christ His love just as He said 
And faith opened up the door and out fear fled!
