Faith Vs. Fear
 
Fear is a thick cloud,
Hiding God’s holy truth.
Faith is knowing full well,
When you can’t see the proof.

Fear holds you back,
So you’ll give up the dream.
Faith pushes you forward,
Beyond your mortal means.

Fear puts you in a box,
Keeping you from living life.
Faith breaks through the walls,
Cutting fear like a knife.

Fear is a dark shadow,
Trying hard to block the light.
Leading many to anger,
Hatred, suffering and strife.

But faith is a beacon of hope,
Love and everlasting life.
So lets walk by our faith,
And not just our sight.
