Excuse Me, Mr. Fear

Excuse Me, Mr. Fear 

I can see what you are doing 

You're grinning ear to ear.

You're stealing joy and taking peace 

And now things are getting weird.

You're marching through our towns and gloating. 

I can almost hear you cheer.

You must think you've won somehow. 

You seem so cavalier. 

But before you start rejoicing, 

I have a message you should hear.

The King of kings is on my side

And His reign is drawing near. 

As I stay close to Him,

My Shepherd and Overseer, 

This temporal world starts fading 

And the truth becomes more clear. 

If God is love and I'm in Him,

Then you must dissapear.

Though I know you'll be back again 

To creep and prowl and jeer.

But even in deepest waters,

With Christ I'll persevere. 

I am not alone in this

As long as The Church is here,

We're family from every tribe and tongue

Our mandate is volunteer

To help all those in need

Across both city and frontier. 

Our love and light and praises

Will change this atmosphere.

So it's over. It's done. 

I'm being quite sincere.

Pack your bags, be on your way

Back to your own dark stratosphere. 

But if you spread more terror

With famine, plague, or spear.

I still won't ever bow to you 

From my Lord,  I'll never veer.

And on that coming blessed day 

When my Savior does appear 

He'll take me to my Father's house

With all whom I hold dear.

I have an eternal future home

With my Maker, whom I revere.

But for you it is much different.

It's punishment. And it's severe.

So, I'm sorry. No. Not sorry 

To inform you, Mr. Fear

That it shall be YOU, not I, 

shedding the last tear.


"There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear."
1 John 4:18
