But Perfect Love Casteth Out Fear

Because all the predatory men that I had known

Used to annoy and never let me alone

Those dastardly men who had nothing to lose

Preyed on my innocence my kindness used

Every one who tarnished my thoughts of myself

Ruined my self-esteem and emotional health

For all the times I didn’t know where to turn

Eager to change but my hopes they would burn

Courage has entered my dying will

There is vigor in my limbs and fight still

Love that eluded me long before

Overwhelms me now that I can fight some more

Victory over those predators at last will be

Evils no longer have that hold on me

Cold heartedness has now melted away

And I have learned to trust as I learned to obey

Some things that once brought paralyzing fear

Torn me to shreds with relentless despair

Encamped in dark corners close to me

They have now ran away from my bravery

Hide now from the aura of my shining light

On my alluring body that shines so bright

Until recently I was lost but not today

The dangers in my life have now passed away

Faith and love are now strong adversaries

Evils have been defeated and are fallen enemies

As he is, so are we in the world of despair

Ruined once But Perfect Love Casteth Out Fear
