I brought all of my shame to you
I withheld nothing
It was the bravest and the most foolish
Thing I had ever done
Others had spurned me
Turned their backs
As if the very sight of me
Was a disgrace
But you were fearless
You watched my tears
Fall upon my trembling hands
You reached out and lifted my chin
Forcing me to look into your eyes
You drew me closer
And held me gently
Your quiet love and kind words
Gave me strength
And now, because of you, I too, am fearless
"Do Not Be Afraid"John 14:27
