Jason Nelson - Jubilee Lyrics
Lyrics
This is my year...of Jubilee
Everything that was stolen is returned to me
Every chain removed I'm free
This is my year...of Jubilee
This is my year...of Jubilee
(Repeat x 4)
Yes I'm claiming my inheritence
Everything that was stolen from me
The year of release is overtaking me (running after me)
I proclaim it...this is my year
Yes I'm claiming my inheritence
Everything that was stolen from me
The year of release is overtaking me
I proclaim it...this is my year
Put yo hands together...come on
Put yo hands together...come on
Put those hands together
It's coming back to me...my family, my joy & peace
It's coming back to me...supernaturally
It's coming back to me...my family, my joy & peace
It's coming back to me...supernatural abundant increase...increase
It's coming back to me...my family, my joy & peace
It's coming back to me...supernaturally
It's coming back to me...my family, my joy & peace
It's coming back to me...supernaturally
It's coming back to me
(repeat x 3)
It's coming back to me...everything He promised me
It's coming back to me
It's coming back to me...everything He promised me
It's coming back to me
Increase....Increase....Increase...
It's coming back to me...my family, my joy & peace

Jubilee
Meaning & Inspiration
Jason Nelson's powerful anthem "Jubilee," released in 2012 on the album *Shifting the Atmosphere*, is more than just a song; it's a declaration of divine restoration and a profound proclamation of God's faithfulness. The title itself, "Jubilee," immediately evokes the biblical concept found in Leviticus 25, a year of emancipation, debt cancellation, and return of property. Nelson masterfully weaves this ancient covenant into a contemporary expression of hope and breakthrough, assuring listeners that this is their year for a profound spiritual and personal reset. The core message is one of reclaiming what has been lost, whether it be peace, joy, family, or spiritual inheritance, and a confident assertion that God's promises are being fulfilled. This is not a passive wish but an active claiming, a declaration that chains are broken and freedom reigns. The repetition of "This is my year...of Jubilee" acts as a powerful mantra, embedding the truth of God's redemptive power into the listener's spirit, encouraging a shift in perspective from lack to abundance.
The "story behind" this song, if one can call it that, is rooted in the rich tapestry of scripture that speaks of God's restorative justice and the inheritance He bestows upon His children. The repeated phrase "Everything that was stolen is returned to me" directly echoes the promises of restoration found throughout the Old Testament. Consider the words in Joel 2:25, where God declares, "I will repay you for the years the locusts have eaten." Nelson’s lyrics tap into this deep well of divine reassurance, affirming that God is not only a God of justice but also a God of overwhelming abundance who can not only replace what was lost but multiply it. The concept of "claiming my inheritance" is a central theme, aligning with passages like Ephesians 1:11, which states, "In him we have obtained an inheritance, having been predestined according to the purpose of him who works all things according to the counsel of his will." This inheritance isn't material wealth solely, but spiritual blessings, peace, joy, and a restored relationship with God. The phrase "The year of release is overtaking me" further amplifies the Jubilee theme, drawing parallels to the year of release in Deuteronomy 15, where debts were forgiven and slaves were set free. Nelson presents this as a tangible, active force in the believer's life, a divine intervention that liberates and renews. The concluding affirmations, "It's coming back to me...my family, my joy & peace...supernatural abundant increase," serve as a prayerful anticipation and a confident expectation of God's abundant blessings, reflecting promises such as those found in Malachi 3:10, where God invites us to test Him by bringing our tithes and offerings, promising, "see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that there will not be room enough to store it." "Jubilee" is a vibrant testament to the liberating and restoring power of God, a song that inspires faith and encourages believers to step into the fullness of what God has promised.
