This week’s featured song story comes to us from The Afters. We’re excited to share with you the story behind their song “I Will Fear No More.”

“So many of our songs come out of real life and conversations that we have just hanging out as friends. And I remember there was this one night in the studio where we were just gathered around talking about life and “Fear No More” started coming together.We were just talking about some of our struggles and anxiety is something that I’ve struggled with for a lot of my life. I remember about us just talking about hey let’s write a song that’s an anthem against anxiety. We wanted to write words that you could sing over your life. Something that you could proclaim over your life. I will not give in to fear and anxiety. It’s an anthem for trusting God. An anthem for not living in fear.” –Josh Havens (The Afters)

“Fear No More” Lyrics

Every anxious thought that steals my breath
It’s a heavy weight upon my chest
As I lie awake and wonder what the future will hold
Help me to remember that You’re in control

You’re my courage when I worry in the dead of night
You’re my strength cause I’m not strong enough to win this fight
You are greater than the battle raging in my mind
I will trust you Lord
I will fear no more

I will lift my eyes I will lift my cares
Lay them in Your hands I’ll leave them there
When the wind and waves are coming You shelter me
Even though I’m in the storm the storm is not in me

You’re my courage when I worry in the dead of night
You’re my strength cause I’m not strong enough to win this fight
You are greater than the battle raging in my mind
I will trust You Lord
I will fear no more
I will fear no more
I will fear no more

No power can come against me
Cause You have overcome
No darkness can overwhelm me
Cause You’ve already won
No power can come against me
Cause You have overcome
No darkness can overwhelm me
Cause You’ve already won
