I Will Not Be Afraid by Annie Johnson Flint

“A Christian woman’s true freedom lies on the other side of a very small gate—humble obedience—but that gate leads out into a largeness of life undreamed of by the liberators of the world, to a place where the God-given differentiation between the sexes is not obfuscated but celebrated, where our inequalities are seen as essential to the image of God, for it is in male and female, in male as male and female as female, not as two identical and interchangeable halves, that the image is manifested.” – Elisabeth Elliot

I will not be afraid;
I will not be afraid;
I will look upward,
And travel onward,
And not be afraid.
He says He will be with me;
He says He will be with me;
He goes before me,
And is beside me,
So I’m not afraid.
His arms are underneath me;
His arms are underneath me;
His hand upholds me,
His love enfolds me,
So I’m not afraid.
His Word will stand for ever;
His Word will stand for ever;
His truth it shall be
My shield and buckler,
So I’m not afraid.
He will give grace and glory;
He will give grace and glory;
His cross before me,
His banner o’er me,
So I’m not afraid.
So we go singing onward;
So we go singing onward;
We’re pressing forward,
We’re marching upward,
To Him unafraid.
