Faith Audio Arsenal | Drop the Baggage
Forgiveness isn’t about pretending the trespass never happened—it’s about refusing to let it take up permanent residence in your soul. Drop the Baggage is your musical reminder that letting go isn’t giving a free pass; it’s kicking the enemy out of the driver’s seat and handing the whole mess to God.
If you’ve been dragging around hurt like it’s a prized carry-on, this is your boarding call for freedom. Set it down. Walk lighter. And watch how much closer you get to the Father when you’re not tripping over old wounds.
Lyrics
"Drop the Baggage"
Inspired by the Faith Post Friday on August 22, 2025Theme: Forgiveness as a Weapon, Not a Free Pass
[Verse 1]I carried pain like armor tight,Held every wrong like I had the right.Called it justice, called it fair—But all it did was foul the air.Said, “I forgive,” but not too loud,While nursing grudges in a shroud.Turns out that weight? It wasn’t strength.It kept me stuck at arm’s-length.
[Chorus]Drop the baggage, not the boundary—Let it fall right at His feet.Forgiveness isn’t weakness—It’s where holy power meets.I’m not giving a free pass—I’m just cutting off the chain.Truth and mercy in the battle,Letting go but not insane.
[Verse 2]I thought my anger made me brave,But it just dressed up what I never gave.A wound I wore like my ID—But God kept whispering, “That’s not Me.”I used to stand like I had proof,But now I walk in deeper truth.Righteous rage was just a show—'Til I let the Spirit go.
[Chorus]Drop the baggage, not the boundary—Let it fall right at His feet.Forgiveness isn’t weakness—It’s where holy power meets.I’m not giving a free pass—I’m just cutting off the chain.Truth and mercy in the battle,Letting go but not insane.
[Bridge] (Spoken or sung softly)I’m not excusing what they did.I’m just refusing to let it liveRent-free in my mind and soul—I want the whole armor.Not a bitter, rusted hole.
[Final Chorus]So I drop the baggage, not the boundary—And I rise, unchained and free.Forgiveness is my weapon—And it points me back to Thee.I won’t carry what You died to lift,Won’t fight with what You healed.This battlefield is holy ground—And I’m showing up unsealed.
