we're singing 170

Caleb taught me a song recently which I really have grown to love in the past week. It's written by Mac Lynch and is found in the Wild's We're Singing Songbook, number 170. The lyrics have been an encouragement to my heart and as such I would like to share them here.

Don't Be Afraid

Lyrics and Music by Mac Lynch

When deep water curls around you and fear replaces faith,
When the floods would seem to overwhelm God's promises of grace,
When the fires seem overtaking and all seems torn and tossed,
Trust His Word, O truly listen, hear Him say, "All is not lost."

CHORUS
Don't be afraid, don't be afraid.
I have redeemed you; you are Mine; don't be afraid.
Don't be afraid, don't be afraid.
You are a precious child to Me; don't be afraid.

I am with you thru the water, I'm with you thru the flood.
They will never overwhelm you: I have bought you with My blood.
Even though you walk thru fire, I'll go with you all the way.
I'm your Saviour, truly listen, hear Me say, these words I say:

CHORUS
Don't be afraid, don't be afraid.
I have redeemed you; you are Mine; don't be afraid.
Don't be afraid, don't be afraid.
You are a precious child to Me; don't be afraid.
