NO WONDER I WAS SCARED:

...

When I thought I’d have to come up with answers
To all that could happen to me in my life –
No wonder I was scared.

When I thought I was really lucky to make it thru another day –
No wonder I was scared.

There was an attack here, a squelch there – no matter what I did –
No wonder I was scared.

Long years went by – brass rings came and went
I caught a few and passed a lot –
I didn’t know I was so scared.

I filled my years – much was good “they” say – and I say, too.
I was wearing out my fears.

It had a name – more than one.
Faith showed me how to shine a light.
I saw fear fade!

It didn’t live so I could feel free –
I soared in Silence – and more could see
It’s me – clear and free.

My voice is heard, my step is seen
Others now can follow close
Free from fear our paths arose.

That light that shone became my own,
It’s always been there my soul has known
I travel now so free from fear –

I now know that God is near.
