If fear comes knocking

They say:
"If fear comes knocking
And Faith opens the door
There is no-one there!"
But if you have no faith to speak of
If you let fear and anxiety take control?
Death might just come knocking
Will you let him in? Will you be on his list?
Faith helps us trust in God
"In Him we trust!" This is a must!
You cannot flee from death if he comes
Sometimes you have to realise
That God's plans are not our own
He does not think as man does
He thinks as God: He is "I am!"
Your attitude is important
Sometimes "stubborn as an ox"
Will get you to that starting box
Upon the road to redemption
The power of "mind over matter"
Works to get us up and be responsible
We have a certain amount of control
Over our bodies even when we are ill
Our attitude of gratitude will get us moving
It will show us how much of God is in us
Help us become a winner right up to the end
Death is a part of living: one does lead to the other
But it is how we make that journey that matters 
How we make it become our story of success
Yes! God designs and we deign to make 
Each and every step: what ever we will make of it!
