Shake It Off

Besides working on my next book, I have been writing a lot of poems and songs. Most of the songs I write are just between the Lord and me, but some I feel to share. As I was writing the lyrics to Shake It Off  the Lord set me free from some things I had been holding on to. My prayer is that He will use this song to do the same for others.

Shake it Off 

I’m letting go of rejection.

It’s the enemy’s tool to defeat.

I won’t strive for perfection.

There’s no need for me to compete.

Jesus paid the full cost.

Let His truth break the enemy’s lies.

I’m loved and accepted.

Now I’m fully awake; it’s time to arise!

 

Chorus  

Shake it off.

Shake it off.

Shake it off.

I’m shaking the dust off my feet.

Shake it off.

Shake it off.

Shake it off.

I’m suiting up in my armor; reclaiming my peace.

I’m holding on to my promises as God heals my heart.

I’m letting go of offenses.

I’m letting old hurts depart.

Shake it off.

Shake it off.

Shake it off.

I’m shaking off the dust and taking hold of the cross.

Now I’ll go in the name of Jesus and change the world.

 

I’m letting go of approval.

I’m not letting opinions hold me back.

If  I’ve been misguided,

I’m asking God to get me back on track.

I am called and chosen

To be strong, courageous, and bold.

No more condemnation.

I’m taking hold of the new; off with the old!

 

Chorus 

Shake it off.

Shake it off.

Shake it off.

I’m shaking the dust off my feet.

Shake it off.

Shake it off.

Shake it off.

I’m suiting up in my armor; reclaiming my peace.

I’m holding on to my promises as God heals my heart.

I’m letting go of offenses.

I’m letting old hurts depart.

Shake it off.

Shake it off.

Shake it off.

I’m shaking off the dust and taking hold of the cross.

Now I’ll go in the name of Jesus and change the world.

 

I’m letting go of self-hatred.

Renouncing harsh words I’ve spoken.

I’m made in God’s image.

I’m changing the way I’ve been talk’n.

I’m breaking all agreements

With words of death that other’s spoke.

They have only weighed me down.

It’s time to shake off the dust; break off the yoke!

 

Chorus 

Shake it off.

Shake it off.

Shake it off.

I’m shaking the dust off my feet.

Shake it off.

Shake it off.

Shake it off.

I’m suiting up in my armor; reclaiming my peace.

I’m holding on to my promises as God heals my heart.

I’m letting go of offenses.

I’m letting old hurts depart.

Shake it off.

Shake it off.

Shake it off.

I’m shaking off the dust and taking hold of the cross.

Now I’ll go in the name of Jesus and change the world.

Yes! I’ll go in the name of Jesus and Change the world!
