Fear

Laying alone in this house, when there's no one else here
Each little sound is a shock, and fills me with fear
But I was not made to be paranoid
I need to remember You're here

(chorus)
'Cause when I remember You, reach for You,
Call for You, all I do draws You in
And when I'm listening, I can sing,
Everything tells me I'm Yours again
Then a deep breath begins the release,
With that deep breath, I'm filled with Your peace

Anxiously dreading the future distracts me once more
I'm lost in disasters, catastrophes, famines and wars
But all these imagined calamities

And I am drifting down the stream into a waterfall, and
I am trapped beneath the froth
Swimming for the surface, and reaching for the sides, and
I am so afraid that both are out of reach, and
I am so afraid that both are out of reach, and
I am so afraid of drowning

CHORUS
This is my fear, this is my cry--
Who will save me in my hour of drowning?
I cannot hear, I cannot see--
Darkness and gravity are all around me
Lord, hear my cry...

The heavy weight of the decision
Bears down upon these tiny shoulders
The two sides of my Inquisition
Tear at my soul like frightened soldiers
Fear of what the future's holding,
Fear that I might be mistaken
So confused; the thunder's rolling
Across this plain o'ercast with hatred

Soon the day will come, and I will be the one,
There is no other
When I must decide, I must reject this pride
That holds me under

I have a feeling my fears have found their feet again;
I'm concerned that there's a coward in control
The devil's able to hide behind his lying friends,
Like a puppeteer I'm letting steer my soul

(chorus)
But I will fight these fears away, I will be lifted from my grave
To watch these apparitions vanish with the light of day
So please just wait with me and see who God's creating me to be
The love He's planted soon will bloom
Into a harvest of peace

I know the music--the melody I've heard before:
When the panic plays, I dance this sorry jig
