“Devil get behind me, you got no hold. I’ve been changed by the Holy Ghost.”
“Get Behind Me” by Emerson Day
If you’ve ever felt weighed down by fear, anxiety, or the lies that try to steal your peace, Emerson Day’s “Get Behind Me” is the kind of song that meets you in the battle and reminds you whose you are.
For Emerson, this song came from personal experience.
As a child, she struggled with fear and anxiety, until her grandmother spoke a life-changing truth: “That fear isn’t from God — it’s from the enemy. And you need to tell him, ‘Get behind me in the name of the Lord.’” That became a spiritual anchor for Emerson, and eventually, the heartbeat of this song.
“Get Behind Me” is a declaration that reminds us that we don’t fight our battles alone.
The One who raised Jesus from the grave — His power lives in us.
When we’re up against the lies of the enemy, we don’t have to give in. We speak truth, we stand firm, and we say with confidence: “You’ve got no hold.”
Why We Love This Song:
The lyric that hits hardest? “You’re stuck under my blood-bought boots.” Romans 16:20 says, “The God of peace will soon crush Satan under your feet.” That’s the kind of victory this song is singing about. Not someday — but right now, because of what Jesus already did.
This song doesn’t sugarcoat the battle — but it shines a light on the victory.
