Rend Collective - Coming Out Fighting Lyrics
Lyrics
It's not over till it's over
I got resurrection power
When the odds are stacked against me
I'm still living in the victory
Not living in the chains of my yesterdays
Cos you break me out of my cage
I am I am coming out fighting
I am I am like mercury rising
I got supernatural power inside me
So don't you count me out
I'm coming out fighting
I'm coming out fighting
There's some spirit in these dry bones
There's some Holy Ghost in my soul
Every scar has taught me something
Gotta get up when I'm losing
Not stuck here in the pain of my past mistakes
Cos you break me out of my cage
I am I am coming out fighting
I am I am like mercury rising
I got supernatural power inside me
So don't you count me out
I'm coming out fighting
I'm coming out fighting
I've been broken
Yeah I've been beaten
But there's some fight in me left
I will rise again
Find my feet again
You're not done with me yet
I am I am coming out fighting
I am I am like mercury rising
I am I am coming out fighting
I am I am like mercury rising
I got supernatural power inside me
So don't you count me out
I'm coming out fighting
I'm coming out fighting
I'm coming out fighting

Meaning & Inspiration
Released on August 13, 2021, Rend Collective’s single "Coming Out Fighting" emerged as a potent anthem for anyone navigating the struggles of life with unyielding faith. This track, standing alone as a powerful declaration, immediately signals its purpose: to ignite courage and remind believers of the divine strength accessible within them. It's more than just a song; it's a spiritual battle cry, a vibrant declaration of defiance against despair, rooted deeply in the promises of Scripture.
At its heart, "Coming Out Fighting" unpacks the profound truth that our battles are not fought in isolation or through mere human will. The lyrics begin by asserting that "It's not over till it's over," a statement immediately grounded in the reality of "resurrection power" resident within the believer. This echoes Paul’s triumphant declaration in Romans 8:37, where he confidently asserts that "in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us." The song refuses to dwell on past defeats, proclaiming freedom from "the chains of my yesterdays," an echo of 2 Corinthians 5:17, which declares that in Christ, we are a "new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come." God’s liberating grace actively "breaks me out of my cage," a vivid image of escape from past bondages, reminiscent of the freedom promised in Galatians 5:1, where we are urged to "stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery."
The core message of the song resonates in its assertive chorus: "I am I am coming out fighting / I am I am like mercury rising / I got supernatural power inside me." This isn't self-help rhetoric; it's a bold affirmation of the Holy Spirit's indwelling presence, as promised in Acts 1:8, where Jesus tells His disciples they "will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you." The image of "mercury rising" perfectly captures an unstoppable, increasing force, signifying a resilience that stems not from personal grit alone, but from the Spirit of God. The song explicitly connects this power to the Holy Ghost dwelling in the soul, drawing a direct parallel to Ezekiel 37, where God brings life and spirit back to dry bones, illustrating His ability to revive the seemingly deadest situations.
The song honestly acknowledges human vulnerability and suffering: "Every scar has taught me something / Gotta get up when I'm losing." This isn't a denial of pain but a testament to growth through adversity, reflecting the profound truth found in Romans 5:3-4, where "suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope." It acknowledges falling but steadfastly insists on rising, a sentiment rooted in Proverbs 24:16, which assures us that "though a righteous person falls seven times, he rises again." Even when "broken" and "beaten," the song declares there's still "some fight in me left," affirming God's ongoing work and faithfulness. The powerful declaration "You're not done with me yet" beautifully encapsulates the promise of Philippians 1:6, that "He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus." "Coming Out Fighting" serves as a powerful reminder that our identity is not defined by our wounds or past failures, but by the victorious, supernatural power of God actively at work within us, empowering us to face every challenge with a spirit of divine tenacity.
