Jabari Johnson - Never Defeated + Have Your Way Lyrics

Never Defeated + Have Your Way joins a declaration of God’s unrivaled power with a prayer of surrender. The opening lines answer opposition with confidence that defeat does not have the final word because God is greater. Images of rising, walking in victory, and surviving weapons formed against the believer draw especially close to Isaiah’s promise that no weapon fashioned against God’s servants will succeed.

The second movement shifts from triumph to dependence. Requests for God to overflow in the place, remove what is displeasing, and have His way present victory as more than personal strength. The lyric locates it in God’s presence and in submission to His rule. John 15 also offers a fitting connection to the admission that life and action are impossible apart from God, while Psalm 139 reflects the prayer for anything offensive to be exposed and removed. Together, the two parts balance confidence with humility: God is able to overcome opposition, and His people respond by yielding every area of life to Him.
