Brandon Lake is no stranger to hit songs, and that continues with his 2023 release of “Tear Off the Roof,” which can also be enjoyed through a music video featuring the actors from “The Chosen.”
The song begins in a conversational tone that carries you immediately to an exhortation to trust Jesus to meet your every need, regardless of the message your circumstances may be relaying.
The lyrics spotlight the stories of the woman with the issue of blood and the man lowered through the roof to get into the presence of Jesus, who soon heals him. The song takes you on an interesting trip inside the minds of these two folks who were desperate for healing and the possible responses to their encounters.
Most of all, “Tear Off the Roof” is a powerful reminder that nothing is lacking in the presence of Jesus, if only we persist in pursuing Him. One of the best statements of this comes through in: “And He has more in the hem of His garment than the camp of the enemy.” Another great line is “I don’t have to wait to get the healing, I gotta faith without a ceiling, so tear off the roof cause the King’s in the house.” Listening to this song consistently could cause you to be more aware that the King is in your house as well.
