1,001 Fears


I believe that my greatest fear was to lose your trust

From not being honest or genuine enough

Hiding behind my shadow, covering myself up

Yet, everything I do is the labor of my love

But it seems I’ve put myself in a bad situation

Building in my mind a fortress of my creation

 

And I’m not sure what to

 

I feel I find myself at a crossroads

I have my own path; I just want to know where you will go

I feel partly an optimist, but partly a cynic

A nurse, so to speak, coming before the doctor visits

That’s another fear; that I’ll never change

That I won’t pull someone up and see them saved

 

But I’m not sure if I can

 

I’m afraid I will fail in my service to God

Because it this point I think that it’s all that I’ve got

If not to help, to at least be the spark

For I see in you a moldable heart

I hope I can do that without by being a friend

So you’ll love me in turn even after I sin

 

But I wonder if I could
