When I Was A Child,
I Was Afraid Of The Dark
The Night Shared Secrets,
About The Certainty Of Death
Even The Moon,
Appeared Sinister To Me Then
Peeping Through My Window,
Casting Shadows Upon My Walls
With A Racing Heart,
I'd Close My Eyes And Pray To The
Lord For Strength
Listening For The Roosters Crow,
I'd Drift
Many People Of All Ages Have A Fear Of The Dark. If You Ever Have Fear Of Any Kind, Remember The Lord Is Always With You.
Psalm 23 (King James Version) www.biblegateway.com
1The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.
2He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.
3He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.
4Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
5Thou preparest a table before me in the prescence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
6Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.
