I ain’t afraid no more

(Verse 1)

Mama said the world’ll try to brand you

With the worst thing you ever did

Carry your past like a rusted chain

Let it tell you who you is

But I’ve been down on my knees at midnight

With the weight of it all on my chest

He whispered, “Son, lift up your head now—

You ain’t who you used to be yet.”

(Bridge)

I’ve worn the scars of younger days

Thought they’d never fade away

But grace has a way of calling my name

(Chorus)

I ain’t afraid anymore

‘Cause the dark don’t win this fight

Got a hand holding mine

When I’m shaking inside

Yeah, the Lord’s my fire, my light

Let ‘em talk, let ‘em stare

Let the storm hit my door

I’m standing my ground on holy ground

I ain’t afraid anymore

(Verse 2)

I’ve had nights where the bad news

Hit harder than a whiskey burn

Hearts get tired, faith gets thin

That’s a hard lesson learned

But there’s a peace that don’t come from this world

Can’t buy it with gold or pride

It settles in when you finally trust

And stop white-knuckling life

(Bridge)

I don’t know how the road will bend

But I know Who walks it with me till the end

(Chorus)

I ain’t afraid anymore

‘Cause the dark don’t win this fight

Got a hand holding mine

When I’m shaking inside

Yeah, the Lord’s my fire, my light

Let ‘em talk, let ‘em stare

Let the storm hit my door

I’m standing my ground on holy ground

I ain’t afraid anymore

(Verse)

Courage don’t shout, it don’t brag

Sometimes it cries, sometimes it begs

But it stands up anyway

Even when your knees still shake

I’ve learned the hurt can teach your heart

How to lift somebody else out the dark

What tried to break me gave me words

For the weary souls and broken nerves

(Bridge)

I don’t fight alone

I don’t walk this road by sight

When fear comes knocking late at night

I choose belief over fright

(Chorus)

I ain’t afraid anymore

‘Cause the dark don’t win this fight

Got a hand holding mine

When I’m shaking inside

Yeah, the Lord’s my fire, my light

Let ‘em talk, let ‘em stare

Let the storm hit my door

I’m standing my ground on holy ground

I ain’t afraid anymore

(Chorus final)

I ain’t afraid anymore

Not of loss, not of man

If today’s what He’s prepared

Then I’ll meet it where I stand

Every step’s in stronger hands

Let the past stay where it was

I’m trusting Him with what’s in store

I ain’t afraid anymore

(Outro)

I’ll wait my turn, I’ll hold the line

Heart steady, soul sure, eyes on the light

Yeah, I’m still learning, still being made

But I ain’t afraid… no, I ain’t afraid
