Be not afraid I go before you always lyrics.

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 shall 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 shall 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 men 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 shall give you rest.

This hymn has been running through my mind for the past 2 weeks. But, I didn't really know all of the words. When I found this on line, it really gave me peace. My husband was recently diagnosed with cancer and now I know why God chose this song for me. Amen.

[spmoran]

I sang this at church today . The lyrics mean so much to me

You shall see the face of God and live . That's awesome .

Mark 4. He said Be still. And the raging winds and waves became calm. "WHAT MANNER OF MAN IS THIS, THAT EVEN THE WIND AND WAVES OBEY HIM?"

I love Jesus Christ so much. This hymn slaps. Seriously based. It’s been stuck in my head for weeks. Praise and glory be God the Father and His Son Jesus Christ Who lives and reigns in unity with the Holy Spirit, One God, for all eternity Amen

I had to listen to song again but it given me sad memories because this song played this at my grandmas funeral and I bawled my eyes out hearing it from the chores singing it SOO beautifully! Lord please take care of her in heaven! ❤

[stephenfarthing]

I know this hymn - and hearing it for the first time! I am reminded of my missing family. They've passed on! I'm reminded as well that they're always going to be there!

I am alone but yet I am not! They've gone on - one day I shall see them again! One day and twenty years or so! I will be there with them. 😢

[DarrenCarrie]

[minahg.]

Praise the Lord! I am so glad to have found this hymn I sang in youth choir so long ago as I go through the most intense spiritual battles of my life. Thank you Jesus for your peace and joy that is not based on my circumstances but on who you are and what you did for me at the cross!
