Hymn Lyrics

Spirit of addiction
Spirit of confusion
Spirit of perversion lend me your ear
Spirit of witchcraft
Spirit of hatred
Spirit of delusion I bind you now

All in the name of Jesus
I bind you up
All in the name of Jesus
I cast you out
All in the name of Jesus
I cast you down to the pits of hell
All in the name of Jesus
I bind you up
All in the name of Jesus
I cast you out
All in the name of Jesus
I cast you down to the pits of hell

Let em' have an open ear
Let em' have an open heart
Let em' see with new found sight
Let em' feel your love tonight

Spirit of religion
Spirit of deception
Spirit of division lend me your ear
Spirit of mockery
Spirit of jealousy
Spirit of adultery I bind you now

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

He's clearly a traditional Pentecostal, Charismatic Christian. He is referencing the act of casting demons out of a person or place by binding them spiritually in the name of Jesus Christ and casting them into the depths of Hell. He is referencing it metaphorically, kind of, to mean he's casting his sinful nature the specific things he mentioned out of his life. He's praying for God's help in this matter by calling on the name of Jesus to bind his sins and the spirit of sin in his life and to cast them out.

James 4:7 - "Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you."
