Analysis of Living Word



"Be not afraid, only believe.
Rise up and walk.
Condemned you are not,
forgiven you are.
Just trust in God,
come walk with me, and you will be free".

So spoke the man from Nazareth,
the healer by Gennesaret.
The light of the world who dwelled with men,
the Prince of peace who stilled the wave.

Good Shepherd, your grace transforms,
Your promise of old, new blessings unfold.
