Behind The Song: Brandon Lake Shares The Heart Behind His Song “Fear Is Not My Future”

This week’s featured song story comes to us from Brandon Lake. We’re excited to share with you the story behind his song “Fear Is Not My Future.”

“What a declaration and amazing thing to sing. Fear is not my future, sickness is not my story. There’s so many things in our life that we’re like this is what I’ve been given and I have to deal with it. I felt like this would be a powerful opportunity to break that agreement and say no. Goodbye fear, goodbye pain, goodbye to the grave that you feel like you’re standing in. Let’s do the opposite and let’s prophecy hello peace, hello joy, hello love.” – Brandon Lake

Let Him turn it
In your favor
Watch Him work it
For your good
He’s not done
With what He’s started
He’s not done
Until it’s good

Hello peace hello joy
Hello love
Hello strength hello hope
It’s a new horizon

If you’re ready
For a breakthrough
Open up and just receive

You’ve ever seen
You’ve ever seen
