Scared
-B. Thomas Clark

I'm scared
And I don't know what to do.
I feel like a turtle going into its shell,
Wanting desperately to hide from you.

Alone and lonely
With nothing to claim
Its cold and its dark
And I'm losing this game.

I'm tired of playing
I want to give up.
But I'm scared of where I would be
Or what I would do.

I'm too scared to go forward
Too hurt to go back
But I can't stay here in the middle
Feeling forgotten-- at the bottom of the stack.

This feeling inside me just won't go away
Some days I want to serve you
Some days I want to flee.
Some days I feel you near me
But sometimes I can't find you at all.
How could I ever have fallen so far?

I'm scared.
I feel lost.
Alone and afraid.
Lord, help me get out of this trap.
Help me go forward
And never look back.

Keep me from fright
In the darkness of night.
Make me strong
Help me be secure.
Let me be sure.
Never scared again
Never again just a shadow
Of who I once was.

I don't know it all
Don't understand much
But I know through Your love
And the peace that You give
You can make me all better
With courage to live.

With your love and your power
I can feel valued and known
Knowing, as long as you're near me,
I can't be alone.
