Why am I so worried?

Why am I so worried? 
by Joel Howard

Why am I so worried about what other people have to say?
The fear of God would have its way
Burn all that's worthless in me today
Fear of man has a stench that comes with it
I will not submit to it
I will not obey it
I renounce my position as needing to hear
the praise of man before there is peace here
I offer to God my greatest praise
He my portion all my days
Allegiance, dedication and my thanks
belong to the God-man who holds my days
Who holds my life, my breath and my days!
