JEANNIE C. RILEY - Be Not Afraid

BE NOT AFRAID (Lyrics)
Songwriter: Jeannie C. Riley

Tossed to and fro, the disciples were fearing
For their very lives, lost out at sea
High winds were raging and beating the waves around them
Then a voice spoke, fear not be at peace

He came to them, walking on water and talking
And though they had know him, still they were afraid
Yet Jesus compassion, put His love to action
For He ceased the wind 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 Saviors 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 life boat ‘tween me and the sea
In despair I cried out in prayer, Dear God please save me
Twas then, my 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 Saviors here now
Be of good faith, for I’m here to stay
So be not afraid

Yes, be of good faith, for I’m here to stay
So be not afraid
