Jasmine Murray - Fearless Lyrics
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!..

Jasmine Murray - Fearless (Official Lyric Video)
Meaning & Inspiration
Jasmine Murray’s “Fearless,” released in February 2017, offers a powerful declaration of spiritual fortitude, emerging as a testament to overcoming doubt and embracing divine empowerment. The song directly confronts the insidious nature of fear, which the lyrics describe as persistent and difficult to dismiss, questioning self-worth with phrases like "Am I good enough?" and "Do I measure up?" This internal struggle is presented as a taxing battle, a sentiment familiar to many who grapple with anxiety and insecurity. However, the narrative pivot in the chorus introduces a profound shift in perspective, directly referencing a core tenet of Christian faith: "But I wasn't given the spirit of fear." This echoes 2 Timothy 1:7, which states, "For God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control." The song then boldly proclaims a desire to be “Fearless!” with “No holding back, no backing down,” anchored by the unwavering belief, "Because I believe, You're with me now." This assurance draws directly from the promise found in Hebrews 13:5, "I will never leave you nor forsake you," offering a profound sense of companionship and strength.
The lyrical journey of "Fearless" moves beyond simply acknowledging fear to actively confronting and conquering it. The imagery of facing "mountains, these giants" that will "fall at a single Word" powerfully evokes Old Testament narratives, particularly Joshua's conquest of Jericho, where the walls crumbled at the sound of trumpets and the people's shout, all orchestrated by God's command. Murray's assertion, "In Your Name, in Your strength, I'm more than a conqueror," directly aligns with Romans 8:37, which declares, "No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us." The repeated affirmation, "I wasn't given the spirit of fear. I was given the power of love," serves as a constant reminder of the source of this newfound courage. This isn't a manufactured bravado but a divinely imparted strength that transforms internal battles into outward declarations of faith. The song’s progression culminates in the resolute commitment, "I won't be afraid. I'll call on Your Name. I'll walk out in faith!" This is a practical application of the spiritual truth presented, transforming passive acceptance of fear into active reliance on God, mirroring the disciples' journey from apprehension to bold evangelism after receiving the Holy Spirit. "Fearless" is more than a song; it’s an anthem for anyone seeking to transcend their anxieties by anchoring their identity and strength in the unwavering presence and power of God, drawing deeply from the wellspring of Scripture to inspire and embolden its listeners.
