"To give up on love is to choose a life that is less than human.
To give up on love is to give up on life.
When love does not come to you,
it breaks your heart,
But when you do not give love away....
it hardens your heart."

Be Not Afraid© 2008 mattbeem

Be not afraid for love is near and
Perfect love drives out all fear
Be not afraid, be not afraid
As we recall our fallen youth and fumble for our best excuse
Let’s just face the truth--I ate that fruit and so did you, my friend
Now the cry of our distress reminds us that we’re powerless
To take this world that’s such a mess and make it new again
Be not afraid for love is near and
Perfect love drives out all fear
Be not afraid, be not afraid

In our plight we soon forgot the cup of life that Mercy bought
Now let us not forsake Him any longer
Whoever drinks from Mercy’s store, from that day forth, shall thirst no more
Come now in your weakness, be made stronger

Be not afraid for love is near and
Perfect love drives out all fear
Be not afraid, be not afraid

We know that if we live in love we live in God and God in us and
By His Son our sin’s been fully paid for
There’s a kingdom for us in the end if only we be born again
We’ll be set free and finally see the world that we were made for

Be not afraid for love is near and
Perfect love drives out all fear
Be not afraid, be not afraid
