One of Us
Bob Fitts Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Just one of us can put a thousand to flight
And two of us can send the legions fleeing
Just one of us can put a thousand to flight
And two of us can rout evil principalities

O there are many of us here
Exalting the name of the Lord
And in his name we declare
Our victory in spiritual war
We bind the powers of the air
By wielding the Word as our sword

(Repeat chorus)
(Repeat verse twice)
(Repeat chorus twice)

Over princes and powers
Jesus gave authority




We raise our voice with a shout
He has won the victory
