"Much Afraid"

Jars of Clay helped me today. I had felt empty and afraid, but there's no need to be. Christ fills me. His light initially burns when He reveals your darkness, yet here there is peace, hope, joy, and freedom! The words below mark where I've been, but God is helping me move forward in trust and obedience. "There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear. . . ." (1 John 4:18). I remain in Love.

"Much Afraid" -- Jars of Clay
Empty again
Sunken down so far
So scared to fall
I might not get up again

So I lay at your feet
All my brokenness
I carry all of my burdens to you

All of these things I've held up in vain
No reason nor rhyme
Just the scars that remain
Of all of these things
I'm so much afraid
Scared out of my mind
By the demons I've made
Sweet Jesus, you never ever let me go
Oh, sweet Jesus, never ever let me go

So happy to love
Yet so far to go
You lead me on to where I've never been before
