“Be Not Afraid”

~ John Michael Talbot

“No coward soul is mine,/ No trembler in the world's storm-troubled sphere:/ I see Heaven's glories shine,/ And faith shines equal, arming me from fear./ O God within my breast,/ Almighty, ever-present Deity!/ Life--that in me has rest,/ As I--undying Life--have power in thee!/ Vain are the thousand creeds/ That move men's hearts: unutterably vain;/ Worthless as withered weeds,/ Or idlest froth amid the boundless main,/ To waken doubt in one/ Holding so fast by thine infinity;/ So surely anchored on/ The stedfast rock of immortality./ With wide-embracing love/ Thy spirit animates eternal years,/ Pervades and broods above,/ Changes, sustains, dissolves, creates, and rears./ Though earth and man were gone,/ And suns and universes ceased to be,/ And Thou were left alone,/ Every existence would exist in Thee./ There is not room for Death,/ Nor atom that his might could render void:/ Thou--THOU art Being and Breath,/ And what THOU art may never be destroyed.”
