From the recording Build An Altar

Lyrics

When Fear is King
from Build An Altar CD
words music by: Sandy Harless

Step by lonely step I walk
I must start my descent
Searching through my memory
For lost sin to repent
My path is blurred from tear filled eyes
Stumbling tumbling down
Downward momentum multiplies
As I fall to the ground
As I fall to the ground

At first I laid there very still
Would salvation come
I had hoped to find Him there
My Lord, my saving One
The path ahead looked dark and unsure
Bathed in shadows and light
Where O Lord does my help come from
When fear is king for a night
When fear is king for a night

Circumstances blind me now
I walk, I run and I flee
Faith and Hope are there to be found
Death (guilt) is hunting me
In my own strength become tired and worn
A whisper in my ear
My Lord, my God has come to say
I have always been here
I have always been here
