There is only God’s action, nothing else will happen. Everything is His action. If He alone is in my heart And there is only God’s help, Then I am not afraid of anything. I am not afraid, I am not afraid, I am not afraid. Copyright: Discourse Bawa Muhaiyaddeen Fellowship Family Newsletter Mar- Apr 2000
