FEAR THE LORD
Great fear had overwhelmed David;
His heartbeat was fast and rapid.
He was in the land of the Philistines;
He was presented to the king.
David once possessed great courage;
He faced Goliath when all were discouraged.
The fear of Death was threatening;
His inner turmoil was deafening!
He remembered that he must fear God;
He returned to his trust in the Lord!
He overcame all his deadly fears;
He trusted that the Lord was near!
His faith returned with fervour;
He had not lost God’s favour.
The Lord would grant him protection;
Faith had strengthened his emotions!
