Tauren Wells - Take It All Back - 🔥🔥 Version Lyrics
Lyrics
Fear's got me living with the lights out
Chained down like a prisoner in my own house
Shame cycles like a daily medication
I try but I can't change my situation
'Cause the liar comes to rob my joy
Yeah, I'm bruised, but I'm not destroyed
I'm rising like an army
And you're gonna hear the sound
I'm calling the angels down
I'm storming the gates of hell
Tell the devil he don't own my soul
I'm taking back what the enemy stole
I'm raising the battle cry
I'm holding the banner high
With the power of the Holy Ghost
I'm taking back what the enemy stole
Oh Oh Oh
You can't speak your lies over my family, no
You can't break the promises that I'm standing on
Ain't gotta flex to put you back in your place now
One name is all I gotta say
Jesus
I'm calling the angels down
I'm storming the gates of hell
Tell the devil he don't own my soul
I'm taking back what the enemy stole
I'm raising the battle cry
I'm holding the banner high
With the power of the Holy Ghost
I'm taking back what the enemy stole
Oh Oh Oh
(Oh Oh Oh) - Taking my peace back
(Oh Oh Oh) - Taking my joy back
(Oh Oh Oh) - Nah you can't have that
I'm taking back what the enemy stole
Yeah Yeah Yeah
You're close to the end
And it ain't lookin good for you
We already win
And you love to see it like revenue
You thought you made a good chess move
But Yahweh way ahead of you
That's what it's like when you at the top with the better view
And regardless of whether or not I am flawless
I have already been pardoned
Yeah we already up it's a party
I beg your pardon
You should know that the lost get found
So many wins I can't even count
Better get to lookin 'round
When you hear the sound
I'm calling the angels down
I'm storming the gates of hell
Tell the devil he don't own my soul
I'm taking back what the enemy stole
I'm raising the battle cry
I'm holding the banner high
With the power of the Holy Ghost
I'm taking back what the enemy stole
Oh Oh Oh
(Oh Oh Oh) - Taking my peace back
(Oh Oh Oh) - Taking my joy back
(Oh Oh Oh) - Nah you can't have that
I'm taking back what the enemy stole
Yeah Yeah Yeah
Yeah I take my peace back
Yeah I take my joy back
Nah you can't have that
No

Tauren Wells - Take It All Back (Official Music Video)
Meaning & Inspiration
Tauren Wells' "Take It All Back - ¥¥ Version," released on April 12, 2024, is a powerful declaration of faith and resilience, a vibrant anthem of spiritual warfare and reclaimed victory. The song delves into the experience of feeling ensnared by fear and shame, acknowledging the insidious nature of the "liar" who seeks to steal joy and peace. Wells paints a vivid picture of being "chained down like a prisoner," a sentiment that resonates with anyone who has felt overwhelmed by personal struggles or external pressures. However, this is not a song of despair; rather, it is a pivot point, a moment of awakening where the individual realizes they are "bruised, but not destroyed." The lyrical narrative shifts dramatically from a state of passive suffering to active defiance, an "army" rising against the forces that have sought to hold them captive.
The core message of "Take It All Back" is a resounding assertion of spiritual authority and the unalienable ownership of one's soul and blessings. Wells proclaims a direct confrontation with the forces of darkness, "storming the gates of hell" and declaring, "Tell the devil he don't own my soul." This is a direct echo of biblical truths found throughout Scripture, particularly in the New Testament. Jesus Himself declared in John 10:10 that the thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it in all its fullness. The song’s power lies in its embodiment of this promise, demonstrating that through faith, believers are not merely survivors but victors. The act of "taking back what the enemy stole" is a potent metaphor for reclaiming spiritual gifts, peace, joy, and even physical and emotional well-being that have been under attack. This concept is deeply rooted in the victory Christ secured on the cross, a victory that is now available to all who believe. As Ephesians 2:6 states, "And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus." This heavenly seating signifies an elevated position of authority and victory over spiritual adversaries.
The second verse introduces a powerful name that serves as the ultimate weapon and shield: Jesus. The simple yet profound declaration, "One name is all I gotta say, Jesus," is a testament to the power inherent in the name of Christ. This aligns with Philippians 2:9-11, where it is written, "Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father." The song's refrain, bolstered by the invocation of "angels down" and the "power of the Holy Ghost," amplifies this assertion of divine support and enablement. This is not a solo effort but a divinely orchestrated battle. Wells emphasizes that the promises of God are steadfast and unbreakable, a truth found in Lamentations 3:22-23: "Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness." The assurance that "we already win" and that God's plan is far superior to any earthly scheme, as expressed through the lines about Yahweh being "way ahead of you," reflects the unwavering sovereignty of God. This is further echoed in Romans 8:37, which proclaims, "No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us." The "party" atmosphere, the counting of "so many wins," and the awareness that "the lost get found" all contribute to an overwhelming sense of triumphant celebration, a testament to the redemptive power that brings even the most broken situations to a place of wholeness and rejoicing. The repetition of reclaiming peace and joy underscores the tangible spiritual benefits of this victory, reinforcing the idea that what was lost can indeed be restored.
