Define Me
by Jonny Diaz

Album: Sweetness & Sorrow

Verse 1
He doesn't use a pitchfork
He doesn't have a tail
He comes disguised as fear and lies
To remind you when you've failed
He doesn't wear a red suit
And he doesn't smell like smoke
He sneaks around 'til he finds your doubt
And that's where he makes his home

Pre-Chorus
But when he comes for you
All you gotta do

Chorus
Is take a look at the devil right square in the eye
And tell him I have believed you for the very last time
Devil, I know you've been lying to me
You do not define me
'Cause all of your power has been swept away
Your threats are as empty as Jesus' grave
So devil, go get behind me
You do not define me

Verse 2
He knows the ways we're different
Where we're tempted to choose a side
Takes the beauty in our diversity
And he'll use it to divide
And he'll split us over doctrine
Or the color of our skin
And when we fight with fear and hate
He's the only one who wins

Pre-Chorus
But when he comes your way
Just put him in his place

Chorus
Just take a look at the devil right square in the eye
And tell him I have believed you for the very last time
Devil, I know you've been lying to me
You do not define me
'Cause all of your power has been swept away
Your threats are as empty as Jesus' grave
So devil, go get behind me
You do not define me, no

Bridge
One Name above all names
Defines who I am, allows me to say that
I've got the victory
Over the enemy
One God above all gods
Who knows who I am, and gives what I've got and
I've got authority
To make the devil flee

Chorus
So look that devil square in the eye
Saying devil, I'm so tired of your lies
No, you do not define me
'Cause all of your power has been swept away
Your threats are as empty as Jesus' grave
So devil, go get behind me
You do not define me
Yeah, devil, go get behind me
You do not define me, no
