Hymn: Be Not Afraid

Sacred Song at Prayer Service, January 21,1993
President William Clinton's Inaugural Day
Click to hear it, wait for it to load then press arrow.

You shall cross the barren desert
but you shall not die of thirst
You shall wander far in safety
Though you do not know the way
You shall speak your words to foreign men
And they will understand
You shall see the face of God and live.

CHORUS
Be not afraid
I go before you always, come follow me
And I will give you rest.

If you pass through raging waters
in the sea, you will not drown
If you walk amid the burning flames
you will not be harmed
If you stand before the powers of Hell
And death is at your side
Know that I am with you through it all.

CHORUS
Be not afraid
I go before you always, come follow me
And I will give you rest.

Blessed are the poor
For the kingdom shall be theirs
Blessed are you who weep and mourn
For one day you will laugh
And if wicked men revile and hate you
All because of me
Blessed, blessed are you.

CHORUS

Be not afraid
I go before you always, come follow me
And I will give you rest.
