The Fear

For the three a.m. what-ifs.

The Lyrics

It finds me around three a.m
The what-ifs start to close in
My heart races on ahead
To a day that hasn't happened yet

But fear's a liar with a loud voice
And I don't have to listen, I've got a choice

You are with me, I won't be afraid
Your perfect love is castin' fear away
Greater is the One who lives in me
Than anything I'm scared to see
So I'll breathe, I'll stand, I'll trust Your name
You gave me peace, You took the fear away

I've made my choices out of dread
Let the worst-case loop inside my head
But You have never failed me yet
So tell me why I'm still afraid

'Cause fear keeps tellin' stories that aren't true
So I'll trade the what-ifs for the truth of You

You are with me, I won't be afraid
Your perfect love is castin' fear away
Greater is the One who lives in me
Than anything I'm scared to see
So I'll breathe, I'll stand, I'll trust Your name
You gave me peace, You took the fear away

When I walk the valley, You walk too
When the waters rise, I'm comin' through
You're bigger than the dark and night
So I'll face it down with You beside

You are with me
So I won't be afraid.
