Take It All Back Lyrics by Tauren Wells
Verse 1: John Cooper
Fears got me living with the lights out
Chained down like a prisoner in my own house
Shame cycles like a daily medication
I try but I can’t change my situation
‘Cause the liar comes to rob my joy
Yeah, I’m bruised but I’m not destroyed
I’m rising like an army
And you’re gonna hear the sound
Chorus: John Cooper
I’m calling the angels down
I’m storming the gates of Hell
Tell the devil he don’t own my soul
I’m taking back what the enemy stole
I’m raising the battle cry
I’m holding the banner high
With the power of the Holy Ghost
I’m taking back what the enemy stole
Post-Chorus: John Cooper
Oh-oh-oh
Verse 2: Tauren Wells, Tauren Wells & John Cooper
You can’t speak the lies over my family, no
You can’t break the promises that I’m standin’ on
Ain’t gotta flex to put you back in your place now
One name is all I gotta say, Jesus
Chorus: Tauren Wells
I’m calling the angels down
I’m storming the gates of hell
Tell the devil he don’t own my soul
I’m taking back what the enemy stole
I’m raising the battle cry
I’m holding the banner high
With the power of the Holy Ghost
I’m taking back what the enemy stole (What the enemy stole)
Post-Chorus: John Cooper, Tauren Wells & BothOh-oh-oh
(Oh-oh-oh) Takin’ my peace back
(Oh-oh-oh) Takin’ my joy back
No, you can have that (Oh-oh-oh)
I’m taking back what the enemy stole
Bridge: Davies. & John Cooper
Ah-ah, we’re done with all the mind games you try to play
If ain’t clear yet, I want everything you took from me
In the name of the One who is peace, the One who heals all disease
The only reason that I am free
That name is Jesus, Lord of Lords and King of Kings
Jesus, the name that makes the demons flee
I want it all now, we’re taking it back now
Yeah, you know it’s going down when you hear the sound
I’m calling the angels down
Breakdown: John Cooper
Come down
Come down
One name is all I gotta say, Jesus
Chorus: Tauren Wells & John Cooper
I’m calling the angels down
I’m storming the gates of hell
Tell the devil he don’t own my soul
I’m taking back what the enemy stole
I’m raising the battle cry
I’m holding the banner high
With the power of the Holy Ghost
I’m taking back what the enemy stole
Post-Chorus: John Cooper, Tauren Wells & Both
Oh-oh-oh
(Oh-oh-oh) Takin’ my peace back
(Oh-oh-oh) Takin’ my joy back
No, you can have that (Oh-oh-oh)
I’m taking back what the enemy stole
