Do Not Be Afraid

[Verse 1] When rulers rise and shadows fall, Your voice still speaks above them all. The gospel light will never die, Your truth will stand beneath the sky. Though chains may bind and crowds may scorn, Your Word will shine like breaking dawn. We’ll speak the truth, whatever comes, For You, O Lord, are King of kings. [Pre-Chorus] We fear You more than mortal men; Your strength will make us stand again. [Chorus] Do not be afraid, Our Father holds tomorrow. Do not be afraid, He walks with us through sorrow. They may wound the flesh, But our souls are in His hands. We will stand and testify, For our God forever reigns. [Verse 2] The sparrow falls within Your sight; You guard Your children day and night. Through Joseph’s chains, through Bethlehem, Your hidden purposes prevail. The fire may burn, the rulers rage, Yet none can turn Your sovereign page. Each step we take, each breath we draw, Remains beneath Your faithful care. [Pre-Chorus] No chance can thwart Your perfect plan; We rest in You, O Great I AM. [Chorus] Do not be afraid, Our Father holds tomorrow. Do not be afraid, He walks with us through sorrow. They may wound the flesh, But our souls are in His hands. We will stand and testify, For our God forever reigns. [Bridge] Not in skies that never darken, Not in lives untouched by pain; But in Christ, our sure foundation, We have peace that will remain. You are with us in the fire, You are near when shadows fall; Sovereign Lord, our sure defender, We will trust You through it all. [Final Chorus] We will not be afraid, Our Father holds tomorrow. We will not be afraid, His grace will bear our sorrow. Though the world may rage, We are sheltered in His hands. We will stand and testify, For our God forever reigns. [Outro] Do not fear, the Lord is near; In His sovereign hands, we’re held. Do not fear, His voice is clear: God is with us—He is faithful still.
