(o fear) my god is near

you paralyze me

you shut my eyes

when i'm trying to find some hope

you are a prison

you're on a mission

to keep me from where i should go

oh

i've had enough of your scheming

i'll be leaving

oh

i hope you know your end is near

oh fear

you'll never keep me here

i hear freedom calling

i feel my chains falling

i see jesus coming

you'll never keep me here

i know my god is near

i know my god is near

you were the lock

and you tried to stop me

but now i hold the key

the door is open

and i'm finally breathing

i'll be leaving

oh you held me for so many years

oh fear

you'll never keep me here

i hear freedom calling

i feel my chains falling

i see jesus coming

you'll never keep me here

i know my god is near

i know my god is near

these are the moments

i feel courageous

god is with me

i can face this

these are the moments

i feel courageous

god is with me

i can face this

i hear freedom calling

i feel my chains falling

i see jesus coming

you'll never keep me here

i know my god is near

i know my god is near

i hear freedom calling

i feel my chains falling

i see jesus coming

you'll never keep me here

i know my god is near

i know my god is near

oh fear my god is near
