Jonny Diaz's song 'You Do Not Define Me' is a Christian anthem about resisting the lies and accusations of the enemy. The lyrics describe how the devil often disguises himself as fear, doubt, and division, but believers can stand firm in their identity in Christ. The chorus declares that the devil's power is broken because of Jesus' resurrection, and his threats are empty. The song encourages listeners to reject shame and condemnation, reminding them that their true identity is found in God. It draws on the biblical truth of Christ's victory over sin and death, empowering believers to live in freedom.

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


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
