I Am Not Afraid

When I see your eyes

in nightly star-light abundance

when demands in life

challenge my mortal being

and the boss not so keen

when I mix up an assignment

or when our children are upset

over a misspoken word.

I know all things will be proper

when love and forgiveness duly arrive

and when twilight

peeks red-eyed over the horizon

‘cause I know Lord Jesus

waits patiently

for me to come home.
