My Weapon
Song Meaning
Todd Dulaney quotes 2 Corinthians 10:4 directly as the song's own explanation of itself: "the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but they're mighty in the Lord." "My praise is my weapon tonight" names what that non-physical weapon actually looks like in practice — clapping, voice, calling God's name, treated as genuine spiritual confrontation rather than only celebration.
"I'll use my weapon and confuse the enemy" keeps the song's imagery concrete and repeated, the heavy chorus structure itself functioning as the sustained "attack" the lyrics describe. "We pulled on the coattail of our Savior" closes the song with Matthew 9:20's image of the woman healed by touching Jesus's robe, worship pictured as reaching for something specific rather than a vague gesture.
Every time I clap my hands
Every time I lift my voice
Every time I call Your name
It's an attack on the enemy
So let's wage war right now
My praise is my weapon tonight
My praise is my weapon tonight
Every time I clap my hands
Every time I lift my voice
Every time I call Your name
It's an attack on the enemy
So let's wage war right now
My praise is my weapon tonight
My praise is my weapon tonight
My praise is my weapon tonight
My praise is my weapon tonight
I will use my weapon and confuse the enemy
I'll use my weapon and confuse the enemy
I'll use my weapon and confuse the enemy
I'll use my weapon and confuse the enemy
I'll use my weapon and confuse the enemy
I'll use my weapon and confuse the enemy
I'll use my weapon and confuse the enemy
I'll use my weapon
I'll use my weapon
I'll use my weapon
I'll use my weapon
I'll use my weapon
I'll use my weapon and confuse the enemy
I'll use my weapon and confuse the enemy
I'll use my weapon and confuse the enemy
I'll use my weapon
I'll use my weapon and confuse the enemy
I'll use my weapon and confuse the enemy
I'll use my weapon and confuse the enemy
I'll use my weapon
For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal
But they're mighty in the Lord
For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal
But they're mighty in the Lord
For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal
But they're mighty in the Lord
For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal
But they're mighty in the Lord
We are mighty in the Lord
We are mighty in the Lord
We are mighty in the Lord
We are mighty in the Lord
We are mighty in the Lord
We are mighty in the Lord
We are mighty in the Lord
We are mighty in the Lord
We are mighty in the Lord

But they're mighty in the Lord
For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal
But they're mighty in the Lord
We are mighty in the Lord
We are mighty in the Lord
We are mighty in the Lord
We are mighty in the Lord
So, I will use my weapon tonight
My praises's my weapon
Oh, Lord
Open up your mouth and just release the praise now
Open up your mouth and release the praise
There's something about that sound, it's so sweet
We pulled on the coattail of our Savior, so sweet in the room oh, God
We pulled on the coattail of our Savior, it's so sweet, God
In the room, oh God, Jesus
It's so sweet when you call Him
In the room, oh God
Raise up your voice in the sanctuary
Raise up, raise up, raise up now
