STAND IN YOUR LOVE - JOSH BALDWIN//COVERS BY DEREK

Derek Charles Johnson’s performance of “Stand In Your Love”

Written by Ethan Hulse, Josh Baldwin, Marcus R. Harris, and Rita E Springer
From the album “Victory” by Bethel Music

There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love. 1 John 4:18

If I could list one word as a snapshot of our lives over the past year or so, it would be the word FEAR. Fear has been a predominant factor ruling us a people, as Americans, and sadly, also as Christians. I know personally fear has kept me from doing things God has laid on my heart. It has caused me to keep quiet about certain things. And the boldness I am called to display in Christ…well, fear as a crazy way of keeping that boldness in check. Fear and boldness are like oil and water. They don’t mix.

So this song by Josh Baldwin and Bethel Music is truth I need to hear, especially in the moments when fear starts to rise. The chorus is so simple, yet hooky: My fear doesn’t stand a chance when I stand in Your love! That line can literally get stuck on repeat in my head. When it does, it reminds me that fear does not have the final word. God does. Fear would take us to the grave. Fear would keep us locked up and in bondage. And fear would tell us the cross wasn’t enough. But it would be wrong every time. Jesus overcame so we didn’t have to be afraid. His victory spells the end of fear. That’s where I want to live. How about you?

When darkness tries to roll over my bones
When sorrow comes to steal the joy I own
When brokenness and pain is all I know
I won't be shaken, no, I won't be shaken

My fear doesn't stand a chance
When I stand in Your love
My fear doesn't stand a chance
When I stand in Your love
My fear doesn't stand a chance
When I stand in Your love

Shame no longer has a place to hide
I am not a captive to the lies
I'm not afraid to leave my past behind
Oh, I won't be shaken, no, I won't be shaken

My fear doesn't stand a chance
When I stand in Your love
My fear doesn't stand a chance
When I stand in Your love
My fear doesn't stand a chance
When I stand in Your love

There's power that can break off every chain
There's power that can empty out a grave
There's resurrection power that can save
There's power in Your name, power in Your name

My fear doesn't stand a chance
When I stand in Your love
My fear doesn't stand a chance
When I stand in Your love
My fear doesn't stand a chance
When I stand in Your love

My fear doesn't stand a chance
When I stand in Your love
My fear doesn't stand a chance
When I stand in Your love
My fear doesn't stand a chance
When I stand in Your love
Ohh
Standing in Your love
