Throughout my journey I have been inspired to write songs that express how I feel about my life experiences. The Song “Fear of God” was channeled as I was reflecting on the rules and beliefs I was taught through my upbringing about what I should or shouldn’t do. I was taught that I needed to obey the rules and ask for permission from authority before taking action. The Fear of God was instilled into me that if I didn’t follow the rules I would be punished and condemned. I invite you to read the words and listen to the lyrics. See if any of the messages resonate with you and if you are ready to let go of the fear that has been instilled in you and learn how to follow your heart instead of your head.

As a little girl I was so afraid
To speak my truth and hear my voice
For the fear of God, I must obey the rules
A good girl, I must be
Good girls get permission, they don’t talk back
Apply good judgement, They play it safe
Good girls don’t act naughty They work real hard,
They are kind and sweet, and don’t complain
So I obeyed the rules, did what I was told
So I would be seen, as that good little girl
Bad girls are lazy, they fool around
They break the rules, and get what they deserve
Bad girls are messy, they get in trouble
they whine and talk back
and turn away from God
For the Fear of God, I must obey the rules
A good little girl, I must be,
So I put up a wall, to protect myself
so I wouldn’t get hurt and wouldn’t be seen
