Fearless and Free

Where does fear come from?

How does it hold you?

If you tried, could you set yourself free?

It comes through your senses

And it comes through your mind

But at its source -

Its something you believe

A lie will grow

A lie will steal

A lie will become your fears

It will take your peace and then your will

And then even your sanity

A lie will pull down

Thoughts about you

That were wholesome, supportive and true

A lie will pervert

And then push away

The things that are pure in you

So can you let go of the lie,

Like a stone, in your hand

Can it fall to the ground next to you?

Most of the time

It sounds like a line

From one of your favourite pop tunes

So how can you go

Free yourself from this stuff

That has entangled you?

Dislodge fear from it place

When you find the embrace

That was measured in love

Just for you

I hold the key

To the courage you need

To fight the demons of fear in your mind

And I can give it to you

If you stop for a few

Relax, and stay here for three

Just three minutes today

Could you stop and just pray?

I will be right by your side

I can take all the stuff

That has broken your trust

And restore the wounds deep inside

Then you'll not take that lie

That seemed shimmery and bright

But dissolves in your hands just a quick

Leaving that stone

Cold, lifeless and hard

A stone that looks more like a brick

So give it away

Even just for a day

And you'll see

That its true - It was you

That believed in that lie

And then buried the truth

That was there to set you free

And from the ashes

Of that cold dark place

I can breathe a life anew

The numbness will leave

And the vision will come

Of one who is chosen by me

Then in courage you'll stand

With a sword in your hand

Holding keys

That are truth upon truth

It will build you a path

Where your feet to walk

Into freedom

Fearless and Free
