TRUTH'S OWN REASONING

Amy G. Viau

When fear would gain the precincts of my heart,
I reason thus: "Is this of God's intent?
Nay, fear is not of God. He never meant
His child to suffer fear, nor does impart
To him the pangs of want or any ill.
What earthly father would so scourge his son?
Then, much less He, whose children every one
Are heirs to His own goodness, by His will."

And as I reason thus, my heart grows strong
And fearless through this Truth's redeeming might.
New peace and joy enthrone my thoughts, the fright
Within my heart is turned to praise and song.
O Love that rends the tomb of hate and fear,
Let Truth's own reasoning be ever clear!
