Fear No More Lyrics

Verse 1]
I'm wishing I could see the finish line
Where it ends, where it lands
Guess I lost my vision when the pain set in

[Pre-Chorus]
Can I believe when I don't see?
Can I really let it be out of my hands?
When it's out of my hands

[Chorus]
This isn't what I'd choose
But it's where I'm finding You
When I'm broken and undone
Your mercy's just begun
You overcome my doubt
Your hands are reaching out
You hold me through the storm
And I will fear no more
And I will fear no more
(And) I will fear no more

[Verse 2]
I can't look into the future but
I know where You have been
Before me, after, and always within

Pre-Chorus]
But can I believe when I don't see?
Can I really let it be out of my hands?
'Cause it's out of my hands, oh

[Chorus]
This isn't what I'd choose
But it's where I'm finding You
When I'm broken and undone
Your mercy's just begun
You overcome my doubt
Your hands are reaching out
You hold me through the storm
And I will fear no more
And I will fear no more
(And I will fear no more)

[Bridge]
I'm not giving up
I'm giving in
To what You've planned
For Your glory
Not giving up (I'm not giving up)
I'm giving in (I'm giving in)
To what You've planned
For Your glory, yeah
I'm not giving up, oh no
It's for Your glory

[Chorus]
This isn't what I'd choose
But it's where I'm finding You
When I'm broken and undone
Your mercy's just begun
You overcome my doubt
Your hands are reaching out
You hold me through the storm
And I will fear no more
And I will fear no more
(And) I will fear no more
(I will never fear, I will never fear)
And I will fear no more
(I will never fear, I will never fear)
And I will fear no more


Fear No More

Fear No More Song Meaning, Biblical Reference and Inspiration

Building 429's song "Fear No More," released on April 6, 2019, delves into the deeply human experience of confronting unexpected pain and uncertainty. The initial verses paint a picture of someone disoriented and struggling to see beyond their current hardship, expressing a longing for the "finish line" but admitting that the pain has obscured their vision. This relatable feeling of being lost when suffering strikes sets the stage for the journey the song describes. It acknowledges the natural human desire to understand and control the outcome, wishing to know "where it ends, where it lands," but recognizing that the situation is beyond their grasp.

The questions posed in the pre-chorus articulate a core struggle of faith: "Can I believe when I don't see? Can I really let it be out of my hands?" This highlights the tension between intellectual belief and experiential reality, especially when circumstances are difficult and feel completely outside of one's control. It speaks to the challenge of trusting a divine plan when the present is painful and the future is unseen, echoing the walk of faith described in Hebrews 11:1 as "being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see."

The chorus serves as the pivotal declaration and the heart of the song's message. Despite the acknowledgment that the difficult situation "isn't what I'd choose," the revelation comes in discovering God's presence *in* that very place of struggle. The lines "But it's where I'm finding You / When I'm broken and undone" offer profound hope, suggesting that God is most intimately encountered not when life is perfect, but in moments of vulnerability and brokenness. The chorus emphasizes the abundance of God's mercy ("Your mercy's just begun") even when feeling completely undone. It speaks to God's active role in overcoming doubt and reaching out with helping hands, a comfort reminiscent of Isaiah 41:10, "So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand." The powerful assertion, "You hold me through the storm / And I will fear no more," directly addresses the initial feeling of being lost in pain, offering the promise of divine support through trials, aligning with passages like Psalm 46:1-2, which states God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble, so we will not fear though the earth give way.

The second verse further explores the perspective shift. While the future remains unknown ("I can't look into the future"), the singer finds solace and confidence in God's eternal presence – knowing "where You have been / Before me, after, and always within." This acknowledges God's sovereignty over time and space, providing a anchor in the uncertainty of what is to come. This perspective reinforces the ability to face the unknown because God's presence is a constant, as promised in scriptures like Deuteronomy 31:6, "Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the LORD your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you."

The bridge introduces a crucial distinction between "giving up" and "giving in." The song clarifies that surrendering to God's plan is not an act of defeat or resignation ("I'm not giving up") but an active choice to yield to His will and purpose ("I'm giving in / To what You've planned"). This surrender is not for personal comfort or control, but explicitly stated to be "For Your glory." This highlights a mature faith perspective where the ultimate goal is not the removal of pain, but the demonstration of God's power and faithfulness through the experience, reflecting the call in Romans 12:1-2 to present our lives as a living sacrifice, allowing God to transform us according to His will.

The repetition of the chorus towards the end reinforces the central theme: that despite the pain and the path being unwanted, finding God in the midst of it leads to the overcoming of doubt, the experience of His mercy, and ultimately, the promise of freedom from fear. The powerful refrain "And I will fear no more" becomes a declaration of faith, not based on the absence of storms, but on the certainty of God's presence and unfailing hold within them. The song offers a message of hope and encouragement for anyone facing difficult circumstances, reminding listeners that even in brokenness and uncertainty, God is near, actively involved, and capable of transforming fear into faith through His sustaining presence and boundless mercy.
