Do not fear

I've been helping out with VBS at Stough Memorial (Lori's church) this week. Lots of kids=lots of fun! I'm helping out with the kindergarteners (of which we had 33 last night) and they are definitely wild. But, we get to sing lots of fun songs about Jesus, do silly hand movements and lots of fun crafts. Holler for being a kid again!

I'm heading to Columbia on Friday to meet up with Erin, KAD, and Russell for the Warren Barfield concert at CIU. Then KAD & I are going to spend the night at Erin's new pad! And on Saturday I am going to go visit my sweet Reaser kids--Matthew, Megan, & Patrick.

I'm going to leave you with the words of one of the songs we've been singing at VBS, which is so simple, yet so refreshing to hear...

Do not fear for I am with you
Do not be afraid
Do not fear for I am with you
Believe in the promise I made

Is that the complete lyrics. I have been looking for a song that I heard when forced to help out with vacation bible school when I was 15. The song had those as the lyrics. It went something like..

When I am alone, lost or afraid, when it's too dark to see, I just remember the promise of God these are his words to me.

Do not fear for I am with you. Do not be afraid. Do not fear for I am with you. Believe in the promise I made do not be afraid.

That song was one of the first christian songs I learned. I came to christ when I was 16 and 1/2. I would love to find the complete lyrics of the song. It means alot to me.

This song, I remember when I was in elementary school, more than a decade ago, I remember my brother went to a VBS at a different church, with a friend of his, and he came home with a CD that had this and many other songs on it. It’s been years since we’ve seen the CD, I have no idea what happened to it. But I’ve always been able to remember these lyrics, even if I couldn’t find the song itself. Thank you. I can listen to it again.
