1. When I'm afraid
And worried for the times ahead
And nothing that I do
Makes my heart feel warm
When I'm afraid
And all the mistakes I've made
Are pulling me down
They can surround me like a storm
When I'm afraid
When I'm afraid

2. When I'm afraid
I wish that I could run away
And just find a place to hide for a little while
When I'm afraid
I think about the things you've said
They echo inside
Comfort me like a little child
I just close my eyes
Say a little prayer through the night
Till the morning comes to
Bring a golden day
When I'm afraid
When I'm afraid
When I'm afraid

3. When the world comes crashing in
And I feel so small, you remind me I'm not alone
after all
When I'm afraid
I think about the things you've said
They echo inside
Comfort me like a little child

4. Lord I look to you
And you send me a love that's true
Like the silver rain
To wash my tears away
When I'm afraid
When I'm afraid
When I'm afraid
