Lyrics
I'm breaking off every chain and the fear that held me.
I refuse to agree with the lies they told me.
I take up my position
Speak totally condition
Take the authority you won for me.
The word of the Lord in my mouth to bring about the change.
Full of your power I step out, declare aloud your praise.
I prophesy
I prophesy
I prophesy
I'm stepping out to become everything you called me.
I believe in your word and your
Spirit in me.
I take up my position
Speak to all my condition.
Take the authority you won for me.
The word of the Lord in my mouth to bring about the change.
Full of your power I step out, declare aloud your praise.
I prophesy
I prophesy
I prophesy
I'll praise you like I've never known defeat.
I'll praise you every second you've redeemed.
I'll praise you your power rests on me.
I'll praise you now for every victory.
I'll praise you 'cause your Spirit lives in me.
I'll praise you your power rests on me.
The word of the Lord in my mouth to bring about the change.
Full of your power I step out, declare aloud your praise.
I prophesy
I prophesy
I prophesy

Meaning & Inspiration
“Prophesy” presents faith as active agreement with God’s word rather than submission to fear or accusation. The verses describe chains being broken, lies being rejected, and spiritual authority being received through Christ. Its recurring declaration turns the singer’s speech toward praise and anticipated change. The final section maintains that posture by praising before visible victory, connecting confidence not to circumstances but to redemption and the indwelling Spirit.
The language of authority over opposing power closely echoes Luke 10:19, where Jesus gives his followers authority over the enemy’s power. The song’s connection between the Spirit and freedom also recalls 2 Corinthians 3:17. Its repeated use of prophecy can be read alongside 1 Corinthians 14:3, which describes prophecy as speech that strengthens, encourages, and comforts others. These passages help frame the lyric’s declarations responsibly: the emphasis rests on God’s word, Christ-given authority, the Spirit’s presence, and praise offered in expectation of God’s victory.
