Marvia Providence - I Am Anointed Lyrics

“I Am Anointed” by Marvia Providence is an upbeat, participatory praise song that invites the congregation to move. It opens with instructions: clap if your hands are anointed, stomp if your feet are anointed, and give “a Holy Ghost shout.” The movement makes the claim of anointing something to act out rather than only sing.

The chorus uses the language of spiritual warfare. The singer is anointed, “putting the enemy under my feet,” moving forward with no more defeat, “breaching wall on the enemy,” and a “mighty warrior in God’s army.” The closing lines turn to restoration, taking back land, health, and “all he stole from me.”

The themes are close to 1 John 2:20, Psalm 18:29 and Joel 2:25, which speaks of restoring what was lost. The song is energetic and declarative, written to be sung with confidence and shared as a group.
