These Are My JOTtings, Part #2

Balance: "Fear or Faith"

The huge task looms, present and make music.
Temptation's fear draws me from faith.
To hear or to fight back,
to trust His peace,
to rest.

Great faith
is the answer.
Hope sees the victory.
The Savior's Face brings peace and rest.
Courage stands and Music soars to worship.

The mind crafts the moment with nameless eyes.
These nerves are Fear's intangibles.
Great darkness shrouds each face.
Silence deafens
the Joy.

Success!
Rousing voices
cheer and clap with aplomb.
Faith sheds joyful tears of great thanks.
The water now transformed, the finest wine.
