breakOUT
Jake Hamilton Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Love is more than just a fact or a feeling
More than a kiss, a touch, one night or a tingling
It's much more than just a message from above
God is love

I see the truth between the lines the worlds feeding
Trying to keep me bound and broken and bleeding
But I hear the voice of one breaking through the night

"Focus your eyes on Jesus and it will all be alright"

To hell with the devil, heaven's all I see
Got no time for distractions when I'm living in the glory
I live for Your presence, I'm not living for me
I've got no time for selfish living when I'm fully set free
Now breakout

My battle is not against flesh and or blood
I break the power of all that stands against love
I fight with every power and principality
I destroy them all with my testimony

It's for freedom sake that we've been set free
So breakout
