[Mo1]

I just heard ..

He is home with God now .. but he will be dearly missed here on earth

Be Not Afraid

You shall cross the barren desert
But you shall not die of thirst.
You shall wander far in safety
Though you do not know the way.
You shall speak your words to foreign men
And they will understand.
You shall see the face of God and live.

Chorus:
Be not afraid, I go before you always,
Come follow me, and I will give you rest.

If you pass thru' raging waters in the sea
You shall not drown.
If you walk amid the burning flames,
You shall not be harmed.
If you stand before the pow'r of hell
And death is at your side,
Know that I am with you - through it all.
(Chorus)

Blesses are the poor
for the Kingdom shall be theirs.
Blest are you that weep and mourn,
For one day you shall laugh.
And if wicked men insult and hate you all because of me,
Blessed - blessed - are you!
(Chorus)

[Petronski]

I love that melody.

[Hand em their arse]

Thank you so much for posting that..... That is my absolute favorite song, can't sing it, or for that matter even read it without crying....

"Be Not Afraid" and "Footprints" are forever etched in my brain... Those words from both have carried me through so much in my life... Thank You Again Mo1

Well Mo... here we are.
He's left us to complete his journey.
John Paul II the Great.

What a beautiful prayer.

"Be Not Afraid", such a lovely and fitting poem for his final days here on Earth. I believe the Holy Father taught all of us, to not fear death these last few days.
