Trade in fear for faith

Monday Message

The presence
The posture
To bow down
and prosper
My heart no longer
A slave to the ways
The world tries to shape
Life to a grave
But You
You Lord
Reversed the grave
Replaced with a garden
Flourishing
Brave
No fear
And the tears
They wash away
All sin
All doubt
All sound
That abounds
Turning this heart around
Flipping this world upside down
There You are
By the meadow
You wait
Patiently
Lovingly
For me to turn my face
and see Your glory unfold in all my days
Joy unspeakable
A love
Once unreachable
Now here
Now home
and there is nowhere else Lord
I would rather go
But stay here in your presence
My heart postured in reverence
Because You and only You
Turn this fear to a ransom

“There is no fear in love [dread does not exist], but full-grown (complete,
perfect) love turns fear out of doors and expels every trace of terror! For fear
brings with it the thought of punishment, and [so] he who is afraid has not
reached the full maturity of love [is not yet grown into love’s complete
perfection].” 1 John 4:18 (AMPC)
