When I Am Afraid (Psalm 56:3)
[INTRO — spoken] When fear gets loud Let Your promises get louder [VERSE 1] Sometimes my mind runs ahead of me Paints worst-case on every wall And my chest tightens up like a warning light Like I’m about to fall But You are good, and You are steady You don’t change with the waves So I breathe in, and I look to You And I choose a different way [PRE-CHORUS] I don’t have to be fearless I just have to come near Because when I draw close to You The dark can’t keep me here [CHORUS] But when I am afraid I will put my trust in You When the ground feels like it’s moving You are strength and safety too You guide me and You fight for me You hold what I can’t control So today I’m choosing trust again With my heart and with my soul [VERSE 2] No matter what comes my way I will rely on You Not because the world feels safer But because Your word is true And when my heart is overwhelmed I’ll ask You for Your peace Overwhelm me with Your promises Until the fear releases [CHORUS] But when I am afraid I will put my trust in You When the ground feels like it’s moving You are strength and safety too You guide me and You fight for me You hold what I can’t control So today I’m choosing trust again With my heart and with my soul [BRIDGE — prayer] God, when I’m afraid, I will put my trust in You I will rely on You no matter what comes my way You are my source of strength and safety You guide me and fight for me When I draw near to You, I have nothing to fear Because You are ultimately in control So today I am intentionally choosing to trust in You [SPOKEN WORD — scripture (word-for-word, NLT)] But when I am afraid, I will put my trust in you Psalm 56:3 [FINAL CHORUS — bigger] But when I am afraid I will put my trust in You Overwhelm me with Your promises Until my fear breaks through You guide me and You fight for me You hold what I can’t control So today I’m choosing trust again With my heart and with my soul [OUTRO — quiet] When I am afraid I will put my trust in You And I’ll share what You’re teaching me As You carry me through
