Be Not Afraid Pope Blessed John Paul II Beatification World Youth Day St. Louis

Lyrics:

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 in foreign lands,
and all will understand,
You shall see the face of God and live.

Be not afraid,
I go before you always,
Come follow Me,
and I shall give you rest.

If you pass through raging waters
in the sea, you shall not drown.
If you walk amidst the burning flames,
you shall not be harmed.

If you stand before the pow'r of hell
and death is at your side,
know that I am with you, through it all

Be not afraid,
I go before you always,
Come follow Me,
and I shall give you rest.

Blessed are your poor,
for the Kingdom shall be theirs.
Blest are you that weep and mourn,
for one day you shall laugh.

And if wicked men insult and hate you, all because of Me,
blessed, blessed are you!

Be not afraid,
I go before you always,
Come follow Me,
and I shall give you rest.

i remember hearing this song being used as a background of a video about John Paul II.

"Be not afraid! Open wide the doors for Christ!" - Blessed John Paul the Great

[BrotherAlphonsusMary]

@urlady21 Thanks be to God!

"Do not be afraid. Do not be satisfied with mediocrity. Put out into the deep and let down your nets for a catch."

Blessed Pope John Paul II

[BrotherAlphonsusMary]

@koledy123 Thanks for that beautiful quote! God Bless!

[stecklein7]

Was this at the Cathedral?

[BrotherAlphonsusMary]

@stecklein7 Thanks for the comments, this is actually a parish church. God Bless!

that looks like the inside of (what used to be called St. Bernard's) I think it's called Holy Angels now, Catholic church in Wood River Illinois.
