In this live performance, the artist addresses his infant son Alexander with a heartfelt song that blends personal father‑son affection and Christian devotion. The lyrics serve as a prayerful blessing, urging the child to grow beyond mere physical steps and to “walk in the light,” love God with every part of his being, and choose love over fear. Repeated motifs emphasize that love is God’s nature, that love surpasses fear, and that true fulfillment comes from serving the weak and the poor. The song repeatedly returns to the refrain “Love is greater than fear” and declares that God’s love is drawn near, offering the child a spiritual roadmap for life.
Chapters
We haven't played it anyway. This is a song I'm going to do for my son Alexander, who's running the crib right there, probably making some noise today. He's got a shirt on that says, "I've been rocking out with my daddy," so I'm pretty excited about that.
There's so much to learn as I'm watching you grow, my son. You're still a baby and there is much work to be done. Don't wait around for your life to to begin. Your life has already begun. So follow me, boy, I'll help you learn all that you can. There's so many steps on the road to becoming a man. There will be days when I can't be around, so listen as close as you can. These are the things I'm praying for you, that I hope you'll understand. I want you to know more than just how to walk. I want you to walk in the light. And to love the Lord God with your heart and your soul, with every last ounce of your mind. There will be doubts, there will be fears, but don't let them ruin your way. Love is greater than fear, and God is love drawn near. There's no greater love than to lay down your life for a friend. There will be days when you doubt you have any effect. Some people never learn how to love well, but they probably needed the most. So remember, God's love is not just for your friends, it's even for your greatest foes. I want you to know more than just how to walk. I want you to walk in the light, to love the Lord God with your heart and your soul, with every last ounce of your might. There will be doubts and there will be fears, but don't let them ruin your way. Love is greater than fear, and God is love from the beginning. Your heart will dance, your heart will sing, your heart will cry, but as long as it beats, let it belong to the Lord of all things. For the pure in heart will seek God. And there is a lie that says life is about getting more, but Christ will be found when you walk with the weak and the poor. And I'm here to pray that your heart will be full of a love that is patient and kind. Blessed is the a man who will seek nothing less than the kingdom of God in this life. I want you to know more than just how to walk. I want you to walk in the light. To love the Lord God with your heart and your soul, with every last ounce of your mind. There will be doubts, there will be fears, but don't let them ruin your way. Love is greater than fear. Love is greater than fear. Oh, love is greater than fear. And God is love drawn near.
