Be Not Afraid Lyrics & Chords

Jeannie C. Riley

Verse 1

(C)Tossed to and fro the (F)disciples were fearing

For (C)their very lives lost out at (G)sea.

(C)High winds were raging and beating the (F)waves round them

(C)Then a voice spoke, (G)"Fear not, be at (C)peace."



Verse 2

(C)He came to them walking (F)on water and talking

And (C)though they had known Him still they were (G)afraid.

Yet (C)Jesus' compassion (F)put His love to action

For (C)He ceased the winds and (G)settled the (C)waves.



Chorus

(C)He said, "Be not afra(F)id, 'Tis only the (C)Master.

Calming the storm, removing all (G)harm.

Now be of good (C)che(F)er, your Savior's (C)here now.

Yes, be of good (G)faith, for I'm here to stay, so be not (C)afraid."



Verse 3

Once my ship was sinking, 'twas the end I was thinking

For there was no lifeboat 'tween me and the sea.

In despair I cried out in prayer, "Dear God, please save me,"

And then the Lord's sweet hand of love lifted me.



Chorus

He said, "Be not afraid, 'Tis only the Master.

Calming the storm, removing all harm.

Now be of good cheer, your Savior's here now.

Yes, be of good faith, for I'm here to stay, so be not afraid."
