forest of fears

Sandi Patty

What place is this Iââ?¬â?¢m in
Where I must pretend
Iââ?¬â?¢m not afraidââ?¬¦ never afraid
Is this some dream Iââ?¬â?¢m in
Nothing seems real
And everythingââ?¬â?¢s changingââ?¬¦ changing

Iââ?¬â?¢m alone in a towering wood so deep
And the shadow of my life
Are all I can see
For the first time Iââ?¬â?¢ve come
Face to face with myself
Iââ?¬â?¢m a traveler in the forest of my fears

Ghosts from forgotten past
Sins ill remembered all are hereââ?¬¦
All of them here
Fears deemed so small before
Loom up and show their faces
So clearlyââ?¬¦ so clearly

Though Iââ?¬â?¢ve got to find escape
From here somehow
All my efforts fail me here,
They fail me now
Only the power of God
Can rescue me from myself
Iââ?¬â?¢m a traveler in the forest of my fears
