[Intro]
Oh my, will you just tell me where you're running?
I need your love
I need your time
Oh, oh
Just tell me, just tell me why, just tell me why
[Verse 1]
I'm no longer stuck in my ways
I am no longer a slave
I am a living sacrifice
I no longer do this for fame
'Cause I had been patiently waiting to see
Why is the enemy angry at me?
Now I know why he keep aiming at me
'Cause he threatened by what I'm created to be
I am refreshed
Defending myself against demons now be like a reflex
I can hear them inside of my head playing with me like recess
Overindulging in my insecurities, I need to eat less
I gotta defeat stress
[Refrain]
Deliver me
Cast these demons out of me
I just want You to be proud of me
I just wanna be proud of me
I feel like everyone doubting me
God, why did You put this inside of me?
Don't even know who it is that I'm trying to be
Because all of these spirits been lying to me
I just can't even make it across 'cause I keep slippin' (why am I slippin'?)
Why have I been so lost, God, I'm trippin' (why am I trippin'?)
Tell me, why am I so hard on myself? (Do I even really know myself?)
[Verse 2]
Uh, I think that I do
I just need healing 'cause I've been abused
I ain't gon' trip if I tie up my shoes
I took all my losses, so how I'ma lose?
I'm too equipped, He provided the tools
And all of these gifts that I finally use
I spit what I'm livin' when I'm in this booth
Even though I'm still sinning, I think I've improved
I won't be condemned, 'cause I am forgiven
When I make this music, the enemy listen
'Cause when I be winnin', he pay me a visit
But this time it's different, he won't catch me slippin'
'Cause now that I'm woke, I'm too awake
I used to have hope, now I have faith
I couldn't cope, now I embrace
I have a new home, I'm finally saved
I'm free
[Pre-Chorus]
I have been granted a way to make any decision
I refuse to be a slave to any addiction
I cannot do this alone, I am fully submitted
Lord God, can I use what I'm saying to pray for deliverance?
[Chorus]
In Jesus' name, I rebuke the spirit of fear
In Jesus' name, remove lust right out of my spear
Lord, I ask You to put me right out of depression
In Jesus' name, remove the spirit of rejection
I rebuke the lies and anger I got from these demons
Cleanse me of all of my pride in the name of Jesus
Cast out all of these spirits that don't have your blessing
Fill me with all of your ways, so I can be selfless
Amen
[Outro]
Say yes, we will say yes
Say yes, Lord, yes, Lord
We will say yes, we will say yes
Say yes, Lord, yes, Lord
We will say yes
