Verse 1
I saw the light in the middle of the night
Couldn't believe I missed the part about the fight
Been living low, accepting the dark lot
Built my suffering on a lie I'd bought
Let the death and destruction be part of my core
Kneeling down, asking for nothing more
But a king's son doesn't beg, a prince doesn't cower
I have the power, in this very hour
Pre-Chorus
I looked the shadow in the eye, and finally knew its name
It's not a monster, it's a whisper, it’s just SHAME
Found its legal ground in my own mess and doubt
But the verdict's been overturned, I'm throwing it out!
Chorus
No more living in fear, no more condemnation
I am a son of the King, demanding liberation
I reject the stain, I declare you are done
I reign in this life, THROUGH THE CHRIST, THE FIRSTBORN SON!
(Distorted guitar chord strikes)
Shame, you have NO PLACE in my life!
Verse 2
You told me I was broken, unworthy to serve
Said I was stained, nothing left of my nerve
I believed the lie, let you stop and control
Put fear in my heart, took a terrible toll
Forgive me, Father, for giving it space to breathe
For thinking I was less of the man you believe
Now the chains are cracked, the weakness is exposed
The nature of the demonic is finally disclosed
Pre-Chorus
I looked the shadow in the eye, and finally knew its name
It's not a monster, it's a whisper, it’s just SHAME
Found its legal ground in my own mess and doubt
But the verdict's been overturned, I'm throwing it out!
Chorus
No more living in fear, no more condemnation
I am a son of the King, demanding liberation
I reject the stain, I declare you are done
I reign in this life, THROUGH THE CHRIST, THE FIRSTBORN SON!
Shame, you have NO PLACE in my life!
Bridge
Game on, it's time to fight strategically
Gonna combat the lie with scripture, eternally
Every time you try to whisper in my ear
I'll shout the truth back 'til the darkness disappears
I'm stepping out of passive, leading courageously now
I put the fear in you, you're the one who must bow!
This is because of Jesus, He will come through
And the victory is here, as I stand resolute and true.
(Guitar Solo - aggressive, melodic, and building to a climax)
Chorus
No more living in fear, no more condemnation
I am a son of the King, demanding liberation
I reject the stain, I declare you are done
I reign in this life, THROUGH THE CHRIST, THE FIRSTBORN SON!
Shame, you have NO PLACE in my life!
Outro
I reject the shame! (Guitar feedback)
I reject the lie! (Drum hit)
I'm done with you! (Final cymbal crash)
Amen.
