~**~ Walk Without Fear ~**~

 As you walk in this world, down paths dimly lit
       with flickering lights, where shadows prevail
               Jesus is there -- so walk without fear.
 As you travel along the pathways of life,
       Jesus is aware of every pitfall before you.
              He is there with you, so walk without fear.
 You are never alone.  Jesus is always with you.
       Trust in His name -- trust in His heart.
 Stretch forth your hand, dear child
    -- and take hold of His,
         for there is surety in the grasp of His hand,
           protection in His arms,  and healing in His touch.

 When you stumble in darkness and fall upon your face,
       Jesus is there, and comforts with His grace.
 As misfortune befalls you, and fear comes upon you,
       do not forget, dear child, that Jesus is there.
 Know that when night falls around you
     and you are about to succumb
          to the darkness of this world,
              that Jesus is there, so walk without fear.

 When misery and despair surround you,
       and the tribulations of this world,
          are too strong to stand against,
             Salvation is waiting for you
                -- and His name is Jesus.>
 Call on Jesus' name, dear child,
       and nothing shall prevail against you
            for He is your hope, and He is your strength.

 And then one fine day, at journey's end,
       Jesus will come for you with His arms out stretched,
 He will gather you up in His arms,
       and carry you to a place where no shadows fall,
    and your paths then will be lighted
      with the bright and shining light
       of Jesus' most pure heart.

 So walk without fear.  Jesus is near.
