Lyrics
Lord If I find favor
Can You hear my cry
Lord, to You be all honor
For You are Adonai
Let my life testify of Your glory
Until all the nations see
The heaven and the earth will pass
But You're calling us to stand
So let the earth shale let the stars fall
We are not afraid, we are not afraid
The oceans roar, the mountains bow
To the Lord of hosts, to the Lord of hosts
You reign, we are
We are not afraid
Lord If I find favor
Can You hear our cry
The chosen generation
This is our battle cry
Let our lives testify of Your glory
Until all the nations see
The heaven and the earth will pass
But You're calling us to stand
So let the earth shale let the stars fall
We are not afraid, we are not afraid
The oceans roar, the mountains bow
To the Lord of hosts, to the Lord of hosts
You reign, we are, we are
We are not afraid

Meaning & Inspiration
We Are Not Afraid is a declaration of courage grounded in the reign of God. Its opening prayer asks to be heard and gives honor to Adonai, while the following lines call for lives that display divine glory among the nations. The song does not present courage as self-confidence. Instead, steadfastness comes from recognizing the Lord of hosts as ruler even when creation appears unstable.
The images of a shaking earth, falling stars, roaring oceans, and bowing mountains place fear beside a greater authority. Against that setting, the repeated refusal to be afraid becomes a communal confession of trust and a call to stand. The lyric also echoes Jesus’ teaching that heaven and earth will pass away while his words endure. By joining prayer, testimony, and a battle cry, the song portrays faithful witness as perseverance under pressure, with God’s rule providing the reason for confidence.
