When I am shaking
And my heart's pounding
You always take me
Make me lie down in
Peaceful fields where
I can clear my head
'Cause I get so overcome with anxiety
Like there's an enemy livin' inside of me
Like a mocker yellin' out, tellin' lies to me
And I don't feel brave, but I don't have to be
'Cause I walked through the valley of shadows
And it scared me half to death
But You're with me everywhere I go
So I won't give up yet
My fears would surely kill me
If I didn't know the truth
The things that I'm afraid of
Are afraid of You
When my emotions
Turn against me
Not faith nor reason
Could convince me that
You have patience
Left to fight for me
When my depression is affectin' every ounce of me
I can get the medication and the counseling
Still I can hear the fear callin' out to me
And I don't feel brave, but I don't have to be
'Cause I walked through the valley of shadows
And it scared me half to death
But You're with me everywhere I go
So I won't give up yet
My fears would surely kill me
If I didn't know the truth
The things that I'm afraid of
Are afraid of You
You prepare a table for me
Right in front of my worst enemies
You're as calm and relaxed as can be
There's no place where
My demons can't find me
But just wait 'til they see
Who's standing behind me
I walked through the valley of shadows
And it scared me half to death
But You're with me everywhere I go
So I won't give up yet
My fears would surely kill me
If I didn't know the truth
The things that I'm afraid of
Are afraid of You
The things that I'm afraid of
Are afraid of You
The things that I'm afraid of
Are afraid of You
