UNAFRAID...

As darkness engulfs the sky
My fears begin to creep
Like a shadow over my head
It makes me want to weep
Things that are yet to come
Mistakes that were left undone
Hurting words that ever said
This void I feel inside
These things put me in tears
As I lay down my bed at night

All through these lonesome nights
When fears are about to reign
I close my eyes and say a prayer
For courage and strength I need
A smile to brighten my heart
A rainbow after each storm
A beautiful morning star
An everlasting love
These things I keep in prayer
As I lay down and close my eyes

Fear has no place to rule
Each time I say a prayer
For God knows what I need
Even before I speak
A compassionate heart
Friends to brighten each day
Peace in the darkest hours
A love that never fails
As God heals my broken heart
I wait for tomorrow, unafraid.
