Fear To Faith
What is it?
Fear To Faith is a straightforward song for female singer and backing band. It was written for Key Ministries, of Melksham (UK), in the early 1990s, to complement a live worship album, and as such was sung by Sarah Hardy in Queensway Chapel, Melksham, where the album was recorded. In the present-day era of social media, it could be regarded as a song of encouragement for anyone who has ever found themselves isolated, trolled or made to feel bad about themselves.

Lyrics
The sprit of the age
Tries to make me feel that I'm all alone
Tries to tie me up in fear
Of everything that I've ever done
But Jesus you've told me
That your Spirit sets me free
And in your hands you hold me
So I can believe you swing me around from
Fear to faith
You carry me all the way from
Fear to faith
And there's something in every day
Reminds me
All I need is you
And every word you say is true
Swinging me around and round and round
From fear to faith
I wake up in the night
And imagine things that are not of you
Fearing I won't see the light
Through the many things that I have to do
But Jesus you've freed me
So my burden rests with you
And by the hand you lead me
So I'm simply a child who's trusting in you from
Fear to faith
You carry me all the way from
Fear to faith
And there's something in every day
Reminds me
All I need is you
And every word you say is true
Swinging me around and round and round
From fear to faith

I get very stressed when people expect or demand things of me; I've always been like that. I'm not proud of some of the things I've done in life; and in the past that also has stressed me out. So when my friends Ken and his wife Chris asked me to write a song on the theme of 'fear to faith' it was very much a subject with which I could identify. Many years later, Reverend Kenny Borthwick made a good point when he said that people arriving at church don't always feel great, don't always want to be sounding as if everything in their lives is fine: sometimes they just want to scream. He asked the question, "Who writes songs for them?" Well, I do and this song is one of them. (The other song on that topic is my Beginning Where I Am.)
I'm not perfect, far from it; and often I feel like tearing my hair out - or what's left of it, anyway. So how about we drop the masks, the pretence and the worrying, and just trust God to deal with it?
