Be Not Afraid
Isaiah 12:1-3
1 And in that day you will say:
“ O LORD, I will praise You;
Though You were angry with me,
Your anger is turned away, and You comfort me.
2 Behold, God is my salvation,
I will trust and not be afraid;
‘ For YAH, the LORD, is my strength and song;
He also has become my salvation.’”
3 Therefore with joy you will draw water
From the wells of salvation.
Tossed to and fro the disciples were fearing
For their very lives lost out at sea.
High winds were raging and beating the waves round them
Then a voice spoke, “Fear not, be at peace.”
He said, “Be not afraid, ‘Tis only the Master.
Calming the storm, removing all harm.
Now be of good cheer, your Savior’s here now.
Yes, be of good faith, for I’m here to stay, so be not afraid.”
He came to them walking on water and talking
And though they had known Him still they were afraid.
Yet Jesus’ compassion put His love to action
For He ceased the winds and settled the waves.
He said, “Be not afraid, ‘Tis only the Master.
Calming the storm, removing all harm.
Now be of good cheer, your Savior’s here now.
Yes, be of good faith, for I’m here to stay, so be not afraid.”
Once my ship was sinking, ’twas the end I was thinking
For there was no lifeboat ‘tween me and the sea.
In despair I cried out in prayer, “Dear God, please save me,”
And then the Lord’s sweet hand of love lifted me.
He said, “Be not afraid, ‘Tis only the Master.
Calming the storm, removing all harm.
Now be of good cheer, your Savior’s here now.
Yes, be of good faith, for I’m here to stay, so be not afraid.”
