Melissa Helser and Bethel Music's 'Sound Mind' is a worship song about overcoming fear and anxiety through God's peace. The lyrics declare that God gives a 'sound mind' to replace the spirit of fear, drawing on 2 Timothy 1:7. The song emphasizes surrendering anxiety, remembering God's faithfulness, and standing in authority through Jesus' name. It also celebrates salvation, healing, and deliverance through Christ's blood. The repeated declaration of 'a sound mind' as an inheritance reinforces the theme of mental and emotional peace found in God's presence.

Verse 1:

In the chaos, You are the peace

In my suffering, You're here with me

In the darkness, You never leave

God of mercy, You're walking with me

I surrender anxiety

All the striving has to cease

In this moment, You're still the King

This is the gift You are giving to me


Chorus:

A sound mind for the spirit of fear

A sound mind so that I can see clearly

A sound mind, Your Spirit is here

A sound mind, a sound mind


Verse 2:

There's a table where we meet

In the presence of my enemies

I will listen, I will feast

On every word You are speaking to me

I remember who You are

You're my fortress and my God

I will stand in authority

In Jesus' name all this darkness will flee

Chorus:

A sound mind for the spirit of fear

A sound mind so that I can see clearly

A sound mind, Your Spirit is here

A sound mind, a sound mind

A sound mind for the spirit of fear

A sound mind so that I can see clearly

A sound mind, Your Spirit is here

A sound mind, a sound mind


Post-Chorus:

A sound mind

You saved, healed, delivered me

Jesus' blood wash over me

Command my soul awake, arise

Use each breath to prophesy

I prophesy

You saved, healed, delivered me

Jesus' blood wash over me

Use each breath to prophesy

I prophesy

You saved, healed, delivered me

Jesus' blood wash over me

Command my soul awake, arise

Use each breath to prophesy

I prophesy

A sound mind for the spirit of fear

A sound mind so that I can see clearly

A sound mind, Your Spirit is here

A sound mind, a sound mind
