The Thunderbolt of Fear

The thunderbolt of fear,
frightens and horrifies
until panic sets in
and the soul it terrifies.

It moves ever quickly,
through our worried minds
then it settles in
when our weakness, it finds.

Fears jolting boom,
is felt deep in the heart
then the resounding dread
in our soul beings to start.

It freezes and it seizes,
our feet to the floor
as soon as we hear
it's rumbling, cracking roar.

But fear can be conquered,
when at first you hear it's clap
take your worries to the Lord
and lay your trust in His lap!

Psalm 56:3
King James Version

"What time I am afraid, I will trust in thee."
