Song Meaning

There's a battle image running through this Israel & New Breed anthem that gives it its backbone: God fighting on the singer's behalf, pushing back darkness, carrying burdens that would otherwise crush. The verses build toward a declaration rather than a request — "I will live, I will not die" — borrowing the defiant confidence of Psalm 118 without quoting it directly. What keeps the song from sliding into generic triumphalism is the specificity of what's being claimed: resurrection power, not just encouragement, is what's said to be alive in the singer. The bridge turns healing and freedom into present-tense facts rather than future hopes, which is why the repeated line "in Jesus name" functions less like a tagline and more like the legal basis for everything claimed before it. Musically restrained verses give way to a chant-like hook built for a room to shout back, and the lyric leans on shaking and stability as its central contrast — the ground moves, the singer doesn't. It's a song built for a moment of crisis rather than quiet reflection, written to be sung loudly by people who need to talk themselves back into standing up.
Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team

God is fighting for us, God is on our side
He has overcome, yes He has overcome
We will not be shaken, we will not be moved
Jesus, You are here

Carrying our burdens, covering our shame
He has overcome, yes He has overcome
We will not be shaken, we will not be moved
Jesus, You are here

I will live, I will not die
The resurrection power of Christ
Alive in me and I am free in Jesus name
I will live, I will not die
I will declare and lift You high
Christ revealed and I am healed in Jesus name

God is fighting for us, pushing back the darkness
Lighting up the kingdom that cannot be shaken
In the name of Jesus, enemy's defeated
And we will shout it out, shout it out
