There are three places I’ve been tempted to go,
Three places where “love, joy and peace” cannot grow.
So, I’ve got some advice that I’d like to share,
Just 4 simple words… DO NOT GO THERE.
There’s a place called WORRY where you wring your hands,
And you fret about things that you don’t understand.
When you’re in WORRY you negate the power of prayer,
So please take my advice… DO NOT GO THERE!
There’s a place called FEAR, and it’s cold and dark,
When you pass by FEAR keep driving… don’t park!
FEAR is a mirage, it’s just a hollow scare,
Again, take my advice… DO NOT GO THERE!
There’s a place called ANGER where your blood pressure rises,
Turns molehills into mountains, and inconvenience into crisis.
You’ll never have peace when in ANGER, so beware,
Yes, ANGER is a place, so DO NOT GO THERE!
I’ve been to all three so I know whence I speak.
In these three places the strong become weak.
WORRY, FEAR and ANGER… they’re a giant snare,
Please, take my advice… DO NOT GO THERE!
Luke 12:25-26 (NIV)
Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his lifespan? So if you cannot do such a small thing, why do you worry about the rest?
1 John 4:18 (KJV)
There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear:
James 1:20 (NAS)
For the anger of man does not achieve the righteousness of God.
