I Have Not Been Given A Spirit of Fear

I have not been given a spirit of fear, so why should I be afraid?

The foundation of my life on Jesus Christ is laid.

His love for me is so boundless, rich, and pure

It is because of His great love that I can and will endure.

When fear seeks to slither its way into my troubled mind,

Squeezing my thoughts, desiring my heart and faith to bind,

I choose, even with trembling lips, to boldly proclaim,

I am covered by the Blood, I’m free in Jesus’ Name!

I live in a fallen world and there is plenty to cause alarm,

But Jesus is with me so I will fear no harm.

Each day I must choose to walk by faith and not by sight,

Yes, I can by  Holy Spirit, not by my power or might.

I have been given Love, Power, and a strong healthy mind.

I will cast down any thoughts against God that I find.

I’m covered by the Blood, no other price I bring,

By faith to that nail pierce hand I will gladly cling

I stand fast in the liberty where with Christ has made me free.

Submitting to God, resisting the Devil and fear will surely flee.

I belong to Almighty God, He holds me in His hand.

I will not fear for I am surrounded by His powerful angel band.
