Fear Not, Beloved By Sarah Christianson
I'm looking out upon the dark open water
I see a tree stand, where I long to be,
but no, the waves are getting higher and stronger
the river is unsafe, I cannot be with thee.
Come beloved, for when you through pass those waters
The waves will not stand, for I am be with you,
my love I am stronger then any of the rivers,
I will not let them sweep over you.
But how I will know you are standing there,
how can I see, what reminds unseen
for the restless sea is too much to bare
maybe I should for one who is seen.
Fear not, beloved for I am here with you,
fear not, beloved for I will not leave you.
For days and weeks, I tried find a way
a way to answer your call, to come
but the more I try to face any deep waters
the more I fall within shallowed of the waves, oh, how do find way to that glorious tree,
how I find a way across the unforgiven seas.
I am the only way, beloved,
I will be your straight, to face those waves,
For my straight can calm your storms
I see you stand on a high hill
You be there with me,
Where even the baggiest cannot reach.
For nights I flood my pillow with my tears
Then I woke up, with hiver eye lids,
and sour red checks
but to other it's the same face.
I see your weary eyes
I take part in each tear, that is hidden
fear not, beloved for I am here with you,
fear not, beloved for I will not leave you.
If your words stand true,
Then why do I feel so cold within,
Why do the waves crash on me?
Why do you let them take me under?
Look at the flower of the field and the birds in the sky,
Are they not well kept and beautifully clothed?
Have I not given them all they need?
Are you not my precious then they?
I hear your words,
I know your there,
But the waves are too strong,
Am to sour to fight them.
Watch as the tree fall into the waters
Watch as the red leaves banish the raging seas.
fear not, beloved for I am here with you,
fear not, beloved for I will not leave you.
