Religious Music - Be Not Afraid lyrics

rate me

(Bob Dufford, S.J., a Catholic Hymn)

You shall cross the barren desert

But you shall not die of thirst

You shall wander far in safety

Though you do not know the way.

You shall speak your words in foreign lands

And all will understand

You shall see the face of God and live.

Be not afraid

I go before you always

Come follow Me

And I WILL give you rest.

If you pass through raging waters

In the sea, you shall not drown

If you walk amidst the burning flames

You shall not be harmed.

If you stand before the pow'r of hell

And death is at your side

Know that I am with you, through it all.

Be not afraid

I go before you always

Come follow Me

And I will give you rest.

Blessed are your poor

For the Kingdom shall be theirs

Blest are you that weep and mourn

for one day you shall laugh.

And if wicked tongues insult and hate you

All because of Me

Blessed, blessed are you!

Be not afraid

I go before you always

Come follow Me

and I WILL GIVE you rest...
