Song Info

  1. We had finished writing all the songs for “The Word” project and “Fear Not” was not on there.  We had a sing along at my house where we sang through all the songs and we originally had another song that focused on Jesus’ birth.  That night as we sang through the entire project, that song was the only one that didn’t seem like it fit.  It was a good song, but in this stage of the narrative, we needed something sounding huge like the divine was invading the Earth.  So after that night, I told band I wanted to take one more stab at it.  The song came together quite quickly when we got the feel down.  So very thankful we stopped something good to work on something better.
  2. Kala Collins did a fantastic job singing this song.  Her joyful power in her voice conveys so much energy and passion.  She nailed this song.
  3. The band sounded like an onslaught as it hits.  They played it wonderfully.
  4. I love how the song walks through the narrative but also allows current singers to rejoice at the coming of Christ!

FEAR NOT BOX

Lyrics

VERSE 1
Heaven’s silence deafening, our hearts were filled with fear
Had our God left us upon our own?
The prophets saw the Coming One, a Savior drawing near
The night the angels made your glory known

CHORUS
Fear not, rescue has come
Fear not, behold God’s Son

VERSE 2
For unto us is born this day a Savior Christ the Lord
The good news that our hearts have longed to hear
It’s with great joy the heavens sing, man’s hope has been restored
Finally, the Word of God is here

CHORUS 2
Fear not, rescue has come
Fear not, behold God’s Son
Fear not, Immanuel
Fear not, He has come to dwell

BRIDGE
Glory to God in the highest
Peace on earth, may Your favor rest
