Leon Patillo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Lord God is with you
Fear not, fear not
Jesus is with you
Though we live in a world of evil
We're commanded to not be afraid
He will fight your battles
His eyes are always on us
And His ears hear all of our prayers
He will never leave you
When you need Him, He'll be there
Fear not, fear not
Lord God is with you
Fear not, fear not
Jesus is with you
Glory to God in the highest
Who is like Thee?
Who is like Thee in all of the Earth?
Glory to God in the highest
Who is like Thee? (who is like Thee?)
Who is like Thee in all the Earth? (who is like Thee?)
In all the Earth? (in all of the Earth?)
The Lord is the strength of my life
We've been told to go forth and conquer
Fearing no one or anything
Even darkness can't defeat us
For we're children of the King
Fear not, fear not
Lord God is with you
Fear not, fear not
Jesus is with you
Jesus is with you
Jesus is with you
The song "Fear Not" by Leon Patillo is a message of courage and faith to believers who are living in a world fraught with evil. The lyrics call for listeners to trust in God and not give in to fear, for He is always with us, fighting our battles on our behalf. The song draws from Biblical passages that assure God's people that He is watching over them, that His ears hear their prayers, and that He will never abandon them. The refrain, "Fear not, fear not, Lord God is with you, fear not, fear not, Jesus is with you" is a reminder that we are not alone in this world, that we have our faith to sustain us, and that we can take heart in the knowledge that whatever comes our way, we can face it with courage and hope.
Patillo's lyrics further emphasize the theme of courage and faith by stating that we have been "told to go forth and conquer, fearing no one or anything, even darkness can't defeat us, for we're children of the King." This message reinforces the idea that as believers, we are empowered to live boldly, standing up to the forces of evil in the world and trusting in God's protection and provision along the way. The song's final lines of "Jesus is with you, Jesus is with you" is an encouraging exclamation to listeners, reminding them of the constant presence of God's loving Son, who walks with us through all the joys and challenges of life.
