Lyrics
I wake up, I feel it
Those fears are back again
Can't shake 'em, can't make 'em
Ever fade, ever end
Am I good enough?
Do I measure up?
Feels like a, war I can't win
But I wasn't given the spirit of fear
I was given the power of love
Everything I've been fighting against
I'm gonna lift it up
I wanna be fearless!
No holding back, no backing down
Fearless!
Because I believe, You're with me now
Bring on the unknown
Lead me and I'll go
Come set me free
God, I want to be
Fearless! (I-I, want to be)
Fearless! (I-I, want to be)
These mountains, these giants
Will fall at a single Word
In Your Name, in Your strength
I'm more than a conqueror
I wasn't given the spirit of fear (no-no)
I was given the power of love (the power of love)
Everything I've been fighting against
I'm gonna lift it up
I wanna be fearless!
No holding back, no backing down
Fearless!
Because I believe, You're with me now
Bring on the unknown
Lead me and I'll go
Come set me free
God, I want to be
Fearless! (I-I, want to be)
Fearless! (I-I, want to be)
I won't be afraid
I won't be afraid!
I'll call on Your Name
I'll walk out in faith!
I won't be afraid (no)
I won't be afraid!
I'll call on Your Name (I'm calling on Your Name)
And I'll walk out in faith (oh-ohhhh!..)
I won't be afraid (I won't be afraid)
I won't be afraid (ohh oh-ohh..)
I'll call on Your Name
And I'll walk out in ... faith!..
Fai-ai-ai-ai-th!!!
I'm gonna be fearless! (fearless!)
No holding back, no backing down
Fearless! (fearless!)
Because I believe, You're with me now
Bring on the unknown (bring it on)
Lead me and I'll go
You set me free (You set me free)
God, I'm gonna be (oh I'm gonna be...)
Fearless! (I-I, want to be)
Fearless! (I-I, want to be)
I'm gonna be fearless (I-I, want to be)
Fearless!..

Meaning & Inspiration
“Fearless” sets recurring anxiety against the gifts God provides for faithful action. Questions of worth and adequacy appear as a battle that cannot be settled by self-confidence alone. The answer comes through language closely echoing 2 Timothy 1:7: fear does not come from God, who gives power, love, and disciplined courage. The song’s confidence therefore rests on God’s presence and strength rather than on the absence of difficult feelings.
Mountains, giants, and the unknown represent obstacles that must be faced, while calling on God’s name and walking in faith describe the chosen response. The claim of being more than a conqueror also recalls Romans 8, where victory is inseparable from God’s love in Christ. Repetition of “I won’t be afraid” turns the struggle into a declaration of trust. The song does not deny that fear can return; it portrays courage as moving forward under God’s leading, confident that divine presence accompanies obedience and that freedom can replace paralysis.
