Be Not Afraid (with lyrics)

Be Not Afraid

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 amid the burning flames, you shall not be harmed
If you stand before the power of hell and death is at your side, know that I am with you through it all.

Blessed are your poor, for the kingdom shall be theirs
Blessed 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!

This always reminds me of my little brother, Mark. It was played at his funeral and I always think about how he was probably scared. He was only 10 when he lost his battle to cancer.

[stephanie]

One of the few songs that bring me to tears. God's love is real.

[anncallari]

We sang this song at my husbands funeral mass. It always brings tears to my eyes. Also I went through surgeries and radiation for cancer and this song helped me to be not afraid.

I adore these catholic hymns. I've been catholic my whole life. I just can't be anything else. I thank my father and grandfather for teaching me such a blessed faith.

We played this song while my mother was in hospital hours from her death. I wanted her to feel Gods love and comfort and I couldnt think of a better song than this to comfort her while she was being called by our Master and Lord jesus christ.

I never fail to get chills at the line: “If you stand before the power of Hell, and death is at your side, know that I am with you through it all.” It almost always brings tears to my eyes. No matter what Jesus will stand beside us and shield us through all of life’s trials and dangers.❤️

At times I tend to become afraid of the difficult situations in life, forgetting that there is someone who cares. This song has planted in me a new hope

My Dad just died yesterday and I want this sung at his funeral Mass. I used to be a funeral organist at my church in NH and I played and sang this song for nearly every one. Now I can't get through it without crying.😢
