Overcoming Fear and Anxiety

  1. God's Love Will Hold Us
    By: Bryan Sirchio

    This song was written specifically for Maundy Thursday, the last night of Jesus's life, and yet it is useful for any time people feel "up against it." One of the Gospels says that after the Last Supper and the foot washing, and after Judas left the table to betray him, Jesus and his disciples sang a hymn together before they left for the garden of Gethsemane. A song that would give Jesus strength to face what he knew the next day was going to mean for him. It is our hope that this song will be a source of strength and courage for those facing a difficult tomorrow. Learn More

  3. God I Am Beaten Battered And Bruised
    By: Ken Medema

    Ken Medema captures the anguishing prayer of the servant who longs for God's justice in frustrating times and who trusts in God against despair and fear. The song concludes with a comforting reminder that we belong to God. This bluesy song is a setting of Psalm 56 and is best suited to be performed as a vocal solo with piano accompaniment. Look for these additional psalm settings in this series by Ken: "All My Life (Psalm 73)," "It's Good to Give Thanks (Psalm 92)," "We Will Raise Our Eyes (Psalm 121)." Learn More

  4. Do Not Fear
    By: The Many

    “Do Not Fear” is a song of God’s love from Lenora and Hannah Rand, as recorded by The Many. There are so many scary things happening all around us, affecting our lives and the lives of those we love. Fear seems to be hard to avoid these days. Here’s a quiet song to sing whether you’re just sitting alone with your fears or you are gathered in community facing these challenging times together. In words inspired by Isaiah 49: 15-17, it is God’s word of assurance to us. Love is greater than fear. God’s love will sustain us. “Can a woman forget her own baby and not love the child she bore? Even if a mother should forget her child, I will never forget you. I have written your name on the palms of my hands” (Isaiah 49:15-17). Learn More
