LOVE OVER FEAR
Zak Abel
I don't know how much longer I can take it
I don’t know how much further I can go
'Cause again and again and again and again and again I'm bein’ tested
Making sure I'm moving down the right road
When I feel like I'm hitting a wall
When I feel like I'm losing it all
I got to choose love over fear
Yes, I got to choose love over fear
Love ovеr fear
Love over fеar
Love over fear,
Love over fear
I don't know how much longer I can face it
I don't know how much longer I can cope
'Cause again and again and again and again and again I'm bein’ tested
Making sure I’m holding on to my hope
When I feel like I'm out of control
And my world isn’t safe anymore
Got to choose love over fear
Yes, I got to choose love over fear
Love over fear
Love over fear
Love over fear
Love over fear
There's nowhere to hide
I show you what's inside
So this time you might know me
My love's on the line
I got no fear tonight
Man, I’m feeling fly
So free . . .
(My thanks to Zak Abel.)

This has been a theme over the past few months, with messaging like this coming through. My yoga teacher is having us study embodiment this year - love vs. fear. It's of course also scripture (1 John 4: 18). "18 There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love." I only know this because I looked it up this week based on conversation about FEAR vs. LOVE. Choose wisely.
Thanks for the introduction! Love this!
