BE NOT AFRAID
By Bob Dufford, SJ
(Includes the fourth verse that Bob Dufford wrote in 2007.)
v1. You shall cross the barren desert
but you shall not die of thirst.
You shall wander far in safety
though you do not know the way.
You shall speak your words to foreign lands
and all will understand.
You shall see the face of God and live.
R. Be not afraid.
I go before you always.
Come follow Me
and I will give you rest.
v2. If you pass through raging waters
in the sea, you shall not drown.
If you walk amidst the burning flames
you shall not be harmed.
If you stand before the pow'r of hell
and death is at your side,
know that I am with you, through it all. /R
v.3 Blessed are your poor
for the Kingdom shall be theirs.
Blest are you that weep and mourn
for one day you shall laugh.
And if wicked men insult and hate you
all because of Me,
blessed, blessed are you! /R
v.4 And when the earth has turned beneath you
and your voice is seldom heard.
When the flood of gifts that blessed your life
has long since ebbed away.
When your mind is thick and hope is thin
and dark is all around,
I will stand beside you till the dawn. /R

I’m sitting by the bedside of my husband. We’ve been together 40 years. He is my love, my life. He had a heart attack 3 days ago. He was standing right next to me in our kitchen. I started CPR and my son was able to take over until EMS arrived. I begged with every ounce of my being for God to spare him and give me more time..to tell him how much I love him..my granddaughter and son and I, huddled together in prayer and one of the firemen bowed his head with us..they got a pulse and here we are, his brain function is 100 percent. Thank you Jesus. Never in my life was I so immediately filled with fear..and I immediately took it to Jesus. God is good and and the miracles are abundant. We are never together at that hour of the day..he had been to town, out on the ranch, fed the animals..etc. but, he was right there beside me..and my son who is never home was right there..Be not afraid…thank you for this gift of song..all of you. 🙏 ❤️ 🕊️

How beautiful, I have always loved this song! I was a practicing Catholic all my life, active in so many aspects of the parish, I found myself at church more than home. The one thing that I loved so much was choir and cantoring.. In 1993, I suffered a mental breakdown and still have been unable to handle any commitments where I have to be somewhere at a certain time. I am now 70 years old and hearing this song this morning, well, it touched my very soul. I felt like my grandmother, mother, father, aunts, all who have passed on, felt like they were reaching out to me to not be afraid.

Dear Dan, Although your thoughts are a very popular theology these days, I must reply to your theology. The Bible warns us not to be swayed by theology that caters to "itching ears". What does that mean? An easy, or popular theology. A theology that appeals to the masses even though it is not true. There is nothing easy about living in Christ in this day and age. It is only in "abiding" in His Holy Spirit, JOHN 15: first verse and onwards, that one can do so. The Bible also says that His way will NOT be popular. Check your theology against the word of God always in order to be correct!!!!!

Life can be cruel but God is constant though it can take awhile to accept this. Today is Father's day where I am and you feel the absence ever more so acutely. Someone once said that grief is like the ocean and it comes on waves ebbing and flowing. Still, it is surreal that I spent Father's day at his grave. But, one day, I will get to hug him again.

This song was my rock, my mantra when I was diagnosed with cancer when I was 30- a million years ago. I would have it blaring as I went through scans, tests, and xrays and waited agonizing days to hear test results. I would have it blaring as I waited in the car pool line to pick up my daughter from kindergarten, or chase my 10 month old down to change his diaper. It was in my head as I prepared for and recovered from surgery. I would cling to it. I was overwhelmed with emotion and memories as I listened to it today through a Facebook post. God was so present to me as I listened to this song- then and now. There are no words to express how grateful I am for this message from God. Thanknyou for this beautiful rendition.m

For some reason this some just came to out of the blue when I woke up the other day. I do not know why, but it has always been one of my favorites growing up in school. I'm so grateful my mother was able to send my sister and I to Catholic school from PreK-12. Her sacrifices to make that happen is never forgotten. ❤️❤️

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ. My husband, Mark Ferreira, died this past Sunday after an eight year cancer battle. By the grace of God I was with him in the hospital. He suffered and offered up all for three days on his deathbed. I prayed, read scriptures and sang to him constantly. I was searching for the Song of Farewell. I know of three versions of it, the Old Hundreth, the Celtic and Ernest Sands. (I am not a musician hope I referred properly). I came upon this Do Not Be Afraid video and played it in the final hour of his arrival to eternity. His burial was yesterday and today I shared this video with my children. I noticed in the comments that people played this video at their loved ones burials. While praying in thanksgiving for you all and the beautiful gifts of music and blessing you exude, I thought I should ask if it would be possible to make a video of the Song of Farewell. In these unprecedented times, so many people are unable to celebrate the Rite if Christian Burial. Thanks be to God, we were blessed to have a private family Mass and Burial. I have shared this video link with many who love my husband. I would love to watch and share the Song of Farewell. For me, it is one of the most encouraging songs at the earthly loss of our beloved ones. Ever grateful.♡

Thank you so much for posting this video. It's incredible. Every once in awhile I listen to "You Are Mine" and this video came up after. I am going through so much. I lost my 96 year old grandmother recently and the grief is overwhelming. She was my best friend. I also lost my father at 15 and I picked this song for his funeral. I'm trying to survive all on my own now and battling colitis, depression, anxiety, stress, trauma and so much more. I was raised in Catholic schools from Kindergarten through college and went to Mass every week until I had a crisis of faith some years back and stopped going. I still read many of my favorite Bible passages and listen to my favorite songs. Sometimes with everything going on in the world I forget the Catholic girl in me that had to have the pennies in her loafers just right and made palm crosses on Palm Sunday. The world was so much better then, so much simpler and peaceful. She's still in me and always will be. Thank you for helping me to remember her. 💜
