Lyrics
Let me begin and confess
I need Your healing
I made a friend of the fear I have been feeling
And I believed the lies it spoke
That led me into doubts
But I'm calling on Your angel armies now
Fear is not welcome
Fear is not welcome
Fear is not welcome in my heart anymore
I'm casting it away
By the power in Your name
Fear is not welcome in my heart anymore
There is so much I don't know
But I know You're faithful
If mountains need to be moved
I know You're able
I will lift my hands again
And believe what I believe
The Lord is on my side
And now I'm free, I'm free, I'm free, I'm free
Fear is not welcome
Fear is not welcome
Fear is not welcome in my heart anymore
I'm casting it away
By the power in Your name
Fear is not welcome in my heart anymore
I feel the joy of heaven
Upon this place descending
Peace passing understanding
What shall I fear?
God, You are my soul's protector
My shield and my defender
From now until forever
What shall I fear?
Through trials and tribulations
You are my strength
What can stand against me
When you're standing with me
What shall I fear?
Through trials and tribulations
You're still my strong salvation
I sing in celebration
What shall I fear?
What shall I fear?
Fear is not welcome
Fear is not welcome
Fear is not welcome in my heart anymore
I'm casting it away
By the power in your great name
Fear is not welcome in my heart anymore
Fear is not welcome
Fear is not welcome
Fear is not welcome in my heart anymore

Meaning & Inspiration
“Fear Is Not Welcome” traces a movement from confession and doubt toward trust in God’s protection. The opening admits that fear was treated like a companion and that its lies were allowed to shape belief. Against that pattern, the singer calls on God, rejects fear’s place in the heart, and rests in the authority of his name. The repeated refrain gives the song the character of a firm declaration rooted in divine faithfulness rather than personal certainty.
Later lines gather several biblical images: mountains moved by faith, peace beyond understanding, angelic armies, and the Lord as shield and defender. These images support the central claim that trials do not have final authority when God is present. Joy and celebration follow not because every unknown has disappeared, but because the singer recognizes a faithful protector and strong salvation. The song therefore presents freedom from fear as an ongoing act of trusting God’s character and help.
