NOTHING TO FEAR IN THE ARMY OF THE LORD

“What do you have to fear?
Nothing.
Whom do you fear?
No one.
Why?
Because whoever has joined forces with God obtains three great privileges:
omnipotence without power,
intoxication without wine
and life without death.” (St. Francis of Assisi)

What are you fearing my child?  Of what are you afraid?
Do you know there is no reason to fear, that God will come to your aid?
Joined to the Lord, you are strong.  What joy are you looking for?
No wine on earth could ever match the intoxication of our Lord.

What are you fearing my child?  Are you fearing death or strife?
You joined forces with the Lord; through death you will find new life.
What are you fearing my child?  Of nothing should you now fear.
For the Lord with whom you’ve joined forces, stands beside you, is ever near.

What are you fearing my child?  Are you fearing for those who are lost?
Give all to God Who has given you all.  Stop not to count the cost.
Give to Him all of your sorrows, your worries and deepest grief.
Give to Him each of your torments and you will find sweet relief.

Have no fear my little one.  The Lord stands by your side,
Ready to bravely defend you.  If in Him, you simply abide.
Remain in the Lords’ mighty army.  Let it be Him alone you adore.
There is nothing and no one to fear, in the army of the Lord.
