Closed on Sunday Lyrics
[Chorus]
Closed on Sunday, you're my Chick-fil-A
Closed on Sunday, you my Chick-fil-A
Hold the selfies, put the 'Gram away
Get your family, y'all hold hands and pray
When you got daughters, always keep 'em safe
Watch out for vipers, don't let them indoctrinate
Closed on Sunday, you my Chick-fil-A
You're my number one, with the lemonade
Raise our sons, train them in the faith
Through temptations, make sure they're wide awake
Follow Jesus, listen and obey
No more livin' for the culture, we nobody's slave
[Verse]
Stand up for my home
Even if I take this walk alone
I bow down to the King upon the throne
My life is His, I'm no longer my own
I pray to God that He'll strengthen my hand
They will think twice steppin' onto my land
I draw the line, it's written in the sand
Try me and you will see that I ain't playin'
Now, back up off my family, move your hands
I got my weapons in the spirit's land
I, Jezebel don't even stand a chance
Jezebel don't even stand a chance
[Outro]
Chick-fil-A
Closed on Sunday, you're my Chick-fil-A
Closed on Sunday, you my Chick-fil-A
Hold the selfies, put the 'Gram away
Get your family, y'all hold hands and pray
When you got daughters, always keep 'em safe
Watch out for vipers, don't let them indoctrinate
Closed on Sunday, you my Chick-fil-A
You're my number one, with the lemonade
Raise our sons, train them in the faith
Through temptations, make sure they're wide awake
Follow Jesus, listen and obey
No more livin' for the culture, we nobody's slave
Stand up for my home
Even if I take this walk alone
I bow down to the King upon the throne
My life is His, I'm no longer my own
I pray to God that He'll strengthen my hand
They will think twice steppin' onto my land
I draw the line, it's written in the sand
Try me and you will see that I ain't playin'
Now, back up off my family, move your hands
I got my weapons in the spirit's land
I, Jezebel don't even stand a chance
Jezebel don't even stand a chance
Chick-fil-A

Kanye is saying that his wife Kim is closed on Sundays, just like Chick-Fil-A. She needs to get off of social media to worship and pray. Their children are in spiritual danger. Satan is a “viper” (Genesis 3), seeking the destruction of their daughters. His sons must not sleepwalk through the deadly temptations of life. Meanwhile Kim is closed to spiritual things, sour like lemonade. Jesus is King! He can lead them in The Way. A Christian should never be a slave of the culture.
Kanye is determined to fight for his family, even if his wife Kim will not stand by his side. Christ is the supreme authority in his life. He is a Christian. Even so, he feels weak. God must strengthen his hands. Through prayer he will find the power to stand. He’s not “playin”, this is war and he has drawn the line. Jezebel is a woman in the Bible who led her husband to embrace idolatry. Kim, who is acting in similar ways, will not “quench the Spirit” in his life.
Kanye sees 1 Cor. 7:15 about to take place in his marriage. It breaks his heart! The video ends with their daughter North West screaming Kim’s new name given in the song: Chick Fil A!!! Should Kim not open up and follow Christ, her children will be hurt most.
What a powerful song!
