Josh Baldwin's song 'Empty Threats' is a declaration of freedom and victory in Christ. The lyrics describe moving past lies and poor choices, recognizing the difference between empty promises and God's truth. The singer affirms they are no longer a prisoner, and though battles may be lost, the war is won through faith. The song emphasizes God's Word as a weapon and His love as defense, while the enemy's threats are powerless. References to the empty grave and rolled-away stone connect Christ's resurrection to personal liberation from fear and shame, celebrating the breaking of chains and the arrival of heaven's freedom.
Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team
There's a lifetime of lies I believed
Made some choices that don't look like me
Took the long road but I know the difference between
A promise and talk that is cheap
Cause I'm not a prisoner anymore
Might lose a battle but I won't lose the war
Your Word is my weapon Your love my defense
All the devil has to offer me is empty threats
When I look down I'm still on my feet
Gotta a heart in my chest that still beats
Gotta a call on my life and a purpose in me
You're giving me strength to believe
That I'm not a prisoner anymore
Might lose a battle but I won't lose the war
Your Word is my weapon Your love my defense
All the devil has to offer me is empty threats
Empty like the grave where the Son of Man was laid
My fear is the stone that was rolled away
And all that remains is the freedom from my shame
Heaven has come and it's broken my chains
Broken my chains
Cause I'm not a prisoner anymore
Might lose a battle but I won't lose the war
Your Word is my weapon Your love my defense
All the devil has to offer me
There ain't nothing he can offer me now
But empty threats
Empty threats
Your Word is my weapon Your love my defense
All the devil has to offer me
Is empty threats
