Lyrics
Hello Fear
Before you sit down there's something I need to explain
Since you're here
I think I should tell you since we last talked things have changed
See I'm tired of being broken-hearted
So I made a list and you're on it
All my hopes and my dreams You took from me
I want those back before you leave
Hello Fear
I knew I would see you, You have a hard time letting go
See these tears,Take a good look cuz, soon they wont fall anymore
God's healing my hurful places
That seat that was yours now is taken
I'm no longer afraid,See I'm better this way
And one more thing before you leave
(Chorus)
Never again will I love you
My heart it refuses to be your home
No longer your prisoner
Today I remember
Apart from you is where I belong
And never again will I trust you
I'm tired of fighting it's been way too long
No longer your prisoner
Today I remember
Who I was and now it's gone
They're gone
Hello Fear
Da da da da da, da da da da da
Farewell Goodbye So long (3X)
Hello Grace
It feels like forever, I thought my chance with you was gone
See your face, it reminds me of mercy
And please let me say I was wrong
Never knew your touch was endless
How you never run dry of forgiveness
Didn't know how bad it was, was afraid just because
Sorry fear, grace took your place
Chorus
Farewell Goodbye So long (8X)
Hello Fear
Before you sit down there's something I need to explain

Meaning & Inspiration
“Hello Fear” treats fear as an unwelcome captor that has once claimed the speaker’s hopes, dreams, and sense of identity. The decision to refuse fear a home marks a turn from brokenheartedness toward freedom. God’s healing is presented as the reason tears will not have the final word, and fear’s place is described as no longer available.
The later greeting of grace sharpens the song’s contrast. Mercy, forgiveness, and an endless supply of grace replace the old pattern of fear. That movement aligns with Scripture’s description of God’s Spirit as one of power, love, and self-control rather than fear. The repeated farewell then becomes a declaration that grace, not fear, now defines the speaker’s home. This contrast gives the testimony a clear progression from captivity to restored trust in God.
