I've come to turn your fear to hope,
I've come to take you through the deep,
to be your friend
until the end,
and let your troubled heart find sleep.
2 And Jesus said: Don't be afraid --
I know your emptiness and grief,
I hear your words of unbelief,
but if you will,
I'll heal your soul
and give your doubting heart relief.
3 And Jesus said: don't be afraid --
I am the Way, I am the Light,
I am the Truth that holds you tight,
and in God's home
you have a room,
a place of welcome and delight. Topics: Christ Incarnate Public Ministry; The Church Celebrates Death and Grieving; Death and Bereavement; Doubt; Fear; Grief; Jesus Teaching Scripture: John 14:1-6 Languages: English Tune Title: LACE
