David J. Ferguson - Do Not Be Afraid/I Will Carry You Lyrics

Your sweetest dreams might seem to fade before your face
This might not be the life that you thought you would live
But how else to meet a disappointment but with grace?
How else to cope with hurt & pain but to forgive?

Be strong, be of good courage
Do not be afraid or dismayed
For the Lord your God is with you wherever you go

Be joyful in hope
Patient in affliction
Faithful in prayer

Though trouble seems to face you now on every side
And the Devil likes to kick you when you're feeling down
Well, you'll be vindicated, for the Devil's lied
And Jesus waits to meet you with a holy crown

Even to your old age
I am he, I am he who will sustain you
I have made you
And I will carry you

See the blessing come pouring down
I will rescue you, I will rescue you

For I know the plans I have for you
Plans to prosper you, not to harm you
I will give you hope and a future

Let the days go by
I am He, I am He who was before them
I have made them
And I will see you through them
