"Freedom From Fear"

Standing at a crossroads,
Unsure where to stand;
I am a stranger
In an unforgiving, barren land.

How do I move forward?
Which way do I go?
I want to take Your hand.
I really want to know.

I want to take a chance,
Yet my fear remains steadfast.
My feet are frozen here.
The grip just seems to last.

Release me from my bonds;
Unbind my fettered legs.
I stand before You pleading;
Your mercy do I beg.

Take me on a journey;
Lead me down a path.
Give me trust to take Your hand.
Give me freedom at last.
