“Those who had thought they were alive now discover that what they took for life is death. Jesus’ resurrection creates a life freed from the death that grips our everyday lives.” -Stanley Hauerwas

 

“The best of all, is God is with us.” – John Wesley

 

“Be not so nervous, be not so frail/Someone watches you, you will not fail/Be not so nervous, be not so frail/Be not so nervous, be not so frail

 

Be not so sorry for what you’ve done/You must forget them now, it’s done/And when you wake up you will find you can run/Be not so sorry for what you’ve done” -Bill Fay, Be Not So Fearful

 

“Fear not, I am with thee; oh, be not dismayed,/For I am thy God and will still give thee aid./I’ll strengthen thee, help thee, and cause thee to stand,/Upheld by my righteous, omnipotent hand.” –Ripen/Funk,  How Firm a Foundation
