Lyrics
[Intro]
I resisted you
Now you, you flee
(Choir repeating)
[Verse 1]
You came knocking at my door again
Trying to pull me back into my sin
Whispering lies in the dead of night
But I got Jesus, and I'm standing in His light
You tried fear, you tried doubt
Tried to make me turn around
But every weapon that you formed
Fell to the ground
I submitted myself to God
Got on my knees and saw His face
Put on the armor of the Lord
Now you don't have a place
[Chorus]
I resisted you, now you flee
The blood of Jesus covers me
You lost the battle, you lost the war
You can't have what belongs to the Lord
I resisted you, now you flee
Every chain has been broken off me
In the name of Jesus Christ the King
I walk in victory
[Verse 2]
You try sickness, you try pain
Tried to bury me in shame
But the same God who raised Christ up
Lives in me
Today I got the sword of the spirit
And the shield of faith
Every fiery dart you throw
Gets turned away
[Post-Chorus]
Run, devil, run, devil
Jesus already won, devil
Run, devil
The cross already won, devil
Run, devil, run, devil
The cross already won, devil, won, devil
Run, devil
[Verse 3]
James 4:7, that's my decree
Submit to God and watch hell flee
Leave no compromise, no retreat
Every demon underneath my feet
You thought I was weak
You thought I'd break
But God was building strength
Through every trial I face
Now I testify, now I proclaim
This power in Jesus' mighty name
[Bridge]
Flee, flee, flee
You gotta flee
Addiction, flee
Flee depression
Flee witchcraft
Flee strongholds, strongholds
Flee darkness, flee
Every unclean thing must flee
[Chorus]
I resist you, now you flee
The Lion of Judah fights for me
No weapon formed shall prosper now
Every knee must bow
I resist you, now you flee
Jesus has the victory
From the cross to eternity
My King reigns over me
[Outro]
Devil
Devil, your time is up
Your lies are exposed
Your kingdom is falling
I resisted you, now you'll flee
Meaning & Inspiration
In "Flee Devil Flee," Sheena Taylor frames spiritual warfare as a response to Christ's finished work rather than a struggle between equal powers. The repeated command to flee draws on James 4:7, where resistance to the devil flows from submission to God. This order matters: the song places kneeling before standing, and the armor of God as something put on after that surrender. The lyrics name concrete attacks—addiction, depression, witchcraft, strongholds—and treat them as defeated realities because of the cross. The blood of Jesus, the name of Christ, and the resurrection power living in the believer form the basis
