Jason Nelson - Dominion Lyrics
Lyrics
Depression you have to flee
You no Longer have dominion over me
Sickness you have to flee
You no Longer have dominion over me
No longer have
Rule over me
You no Longer have dominion over me
Repeat after Leader (unison)
Poverty you have to flee
You no Longer have dominion over me
My sin you have to flee
You no Longer have dominion over me
No longer have
Rule over me
You no Longer have dominion over me
The bible says, if I resist; You have to flee
And nothing on earth can pull me away from you love toward me
You no Longer have dominion over me
Over me is love
Over me is joy
You no Longer have dominion over me
3 part
Over me is peace
Over me is freedom
You no Longer have dominion over me (unison)
Split
My soul is resting
It's such a blessing
You no Longer have dominion over me
It's Over

Jason Nelson DOMINION
Meaning & Inspiration
Jason Nelson's "Dominion," released on May 18, 2012, as part of his impactful album *Shifting the Atmosphere*, is not merely a song but a bold declaration of spiritual authority and liberation. Its essence lies in empowering believers to understand and exercise the power they possess in Christ, confronting the forces that seek to undermine their peace, health, and prosperity. The song serves as a rallying cry, shifting the atmosphere from one of oppression to one of triumph by verbally asserting God's sovereignty over every challenging circumstance.
At its core, "Dominion" articulates a profound truth: the believer, through Christ, is no longer subject to the rule of negative influences. The lyrics directly challenge "Depression," "Sickness," and "Poverty," commanding them to flee. This powerful stance is rooted in the understanding that spiritual battles are often won or lost in the arena of verbal confession and belief. The assertion "You no longer have dominion over me" is a direct spiritual decree, reflecting the New Testament teaching that Christ has disarmed the powers and authorities, triumphing over them (Colossians 2:15). It calls individuals to actively reclaim their God-given authority, moving beyond passive endurance into active spiritual warfare, where they declare their freedom based on what Christ has already accomplished.
The song then deepens this declaration by confronting "My sin you have to flee," a crucial acknowledgment that even internal struggles like sin lose their controlling grip through Christ. This aligns perfectly with Romans 6:14, which states, "For sin shall no longer be your master, because you are not under the law, but under grace." It's a reminder that through faith in Jesus, believers are set free from the power and penalty of sin, allowing them to walk in newness of life (Romans 6:4). The repeated refrain, "No longer have rule over me," reinforces this truth, establishing the believer's position of freedom in the finished work of the cross. The explicit reference, "The bible says, if I resist; You have to flee," directly quotes the empowering promise of James 4:7, urging individuals to actively stand against spiritual opposition, confident that God's Word guarantees the enemy's retreat.
Moreover, "Dominion" beautifully anchors this newfound freedom in the unwavering love of God. The line "nothing on earth can pull me away from you love toward me" resonates deeply with Romans 8:38-39, a cornerstone passage affirming that neither death nor life, angels nor demons, nor any other created thing can separate us from God's boundless love in Christ Jesus. This truth provides an unshakeable foundation for the declarations made earlier; the authority exercised is not self-derived but flows from an intimate, secure relationship with a loving Father. From this secure place, the song proclaims positive spiritual realities: "Over me is love," "Over me is joy," "Over me is peace," and "Over me is freedom." These are not mere emotional states but fundamental aspects of the Spirit-filled life, echoing the fruits of the Spirit described in Galatians 5:22-23 and the peace Christ promised to His disciples in John 14:27. This signifies a complete shift from being under the dominion of external pressures to being enveloped by God's benevolent rule.
The song culminates in a powerful expression of rest and blessing. When it declares, "My soul is resting, It's such a blessing," it captures the profound peace available to those who surrender their burdens to Christ. This echoes Matthew 11:28-30, where Jesus invites the weary and burdened to come to Him and find rest for their souls. The peace described is not the absence of trouble, but the presence of God amidst it, leading to a deep, internal serenity that transcends circumstances. The final, triumphant declaration, "It's Over," encapsulates the absolute victory secured by Jesus Christ. It proclaims that the era of spiritual oppression and defeat for the believer is finished; the old chains have been broken, and a new reign of life and liberty has begun. "Dominion" stands as a testament to the power of declarative faith, guiding believers to confidently walk in the freedom and authority they possess through their union with Christ, truly shifting the atmosphere around them.
