Here to There

I fear the unknown
that's all that it is
for I have belief
in the things of HIM

Yet the process
of how one gets
from here to there
is the cause for anxiety
and thus I fear

If mine eyes could be opened
and I could see
would anguish disappear
would I finally be free

O Father, forgive me
for my awkward thoughts
my search is for understanding
of all that Thou has taught

I mean no disrespect
and desire not to sin
I do not question or doubt
my heart is true for HIM

I only wish to shake
the darkness that threatens my mind
and with greater understanding
this mountain I feel I could climb

To be not afraid
when the phone rings late at night
and quiver not when sirens
near the house do sound array

But to have calmness of heart
assured with all I know
that when death has to strike
I will not sink so low

and when trials come
being but to the test
or if tragedy blossoms
when I am without rest

I just want to be confidant
strong full of grace
the one Heavenly Father can count on
to succeed in this place

No more fear
is the quest that be
oh please dear Lord
wilt Thou guide me.......
