Be Not Afraid

This was recorded at the 2008 confirmation of our local parish.

Vocals, piano and arrangement: CheckedAvailability

By special request, here's the 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 will give you rest

If you pass the raging waters in the sea
You shall not drown
If you walk amid the burning flames
You shall not be harmed
If you stand before the power 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 will give you rest

Blessed are your poor
For the kingdom shall be theirs
Blessed are you that weep and mourn
For one day you shall laugh
And if wicked tongues 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 will give you rest

I am trying to find a good version in which ALL the verses are sung and easy to understand, but I sure am having difficulty. Wish Michael Crawford had a version out, that man's voice makes my knees weak it is so beautiful!!

@pattyjm59 Are there any more verses? I don't know more than these three.

[MrFataja]

Can I find a good version? You know one that doesn't have a ugly voice?

[CheckedAvailability]

@MrFataja Mmmmh - you mean apart from my version? :D I didn't like most of the versions on Youtube...

[MrFataja]

@CheckedAvailability exactly, yours was the only good one :)

[CheckedAvailability]

@MrFataja This here is one of the very few versions I don't find that bad: /watch?v=QBH-Eh9Bjjg

In our world today there are so many negative things going on that we often hide our true opinions and views. Some of these opinions hold the key to ending the suffering so we should trust God and be not afraid to voice our beliefs

What a beautiful voice. This song was performed at my Mom, Dad and Grandma's funerals. It's a beautiful, comforting song. Thanks for sharing :) God Bless!

@Jonesniketa, god bless you. I hope your not mad at god for things that happened in your life. I used to be and used to yell at god. He loves you no matter what. I don't know you or your life but I will pray for you and send you good vibes. It's hard sometimes but trust in jesus! Take care my friend
