Lyrics
When darkness tries to roll over my bones
When sorrow comes to steal the joy I own
When brokenness and pain is all I know
I won't be shaken, no, I won't be shaken
My fear doesn't stand a chance
When I stand in Your love
My fear doesn't stand a chance
When I stand in Your love
My fear doesn't stand a chance
When I stand in Your love!
Shame no longer has a place to hide
I am not a captive to the lies
I'm not afraid to leave my past behind
Oh, I won't be shaken, no, I won't be shaken!
My fear doesn't stand a chance
When I stand in Your love
My fear doesn't stand a chance
When I stand in Your love
My fear doesn't stand a chance
When I stand in Your love!
Oh, I'm standing
There's power that can break off every chain
There's power that can empty out a grave
There's resurrection power that can save
There's power in Your name, power in Your name!
My fear doesn't stand a chance
When I stand in Your love
My fear doesn't stand a chance
When I stand in Your love
My fear doesn't stand a chance
When I stand in Your love!
Oh when, when I'm standing in Your love
Oh, my fear doesn't stand a chance
When I stand in Your love
My fear doesn't stand a chance
When I stand in Your love
My fear doesn't stand a chance
When I stand in Your love!
Ooh, oh-oh-oooh, I'm standing in Your love
Ooh, oh-oh-oooh, standing on the rock
Oh, I'm standing, standing in Your love

Meaning & Inspiration
Stand In Your Love answers fear with the security of God’s presence and saving power. Darkness, sorrow, pain, shame, and the lies of the past are named honestly, yet none is allowed to define the final confession. The chorus places stability in God’s love, while the bridge expands that confidence through images of broken chains, an emptied grave, resurrection, and the authority of God’s name. Standing becomes an act of faith rather than a claim of personal strength.
The lyric’s contrast between fear and love closely echoes 1 John 4:18, which says that perfect love drives out fear. Its closing image of standing on the rock also recalls Psalm 40:2, where God sets the psalmist’s feet upon a rock and makes each step secure. The references to resurrection power further connect the song’s courage to Christ’s victory over death. Through repetition, the song presents fear as persistent but not sovereign; divine love provides a firmer place to stand.
