SCOTT DECLAIRE JR. SHARES THE POWERFUL STORY BEHIND “WAR OF THOUGHTS” — A TESTIMONY OF GOD’S WORD WINNING THE BATTLE FOR THE MIND

Kingdom Chorus proudly spotlights the deeply personal story behind Scott DeClaire Jr.’s powerful single “War of Thoughts,” a song that has become a lifeline for thousands battling anxiety, doubt, and spiritual warfare.
Released in 2022 and still ministering powerfully today, the track’s official lyric video has surpassed 113,000 views, with listeners calling it “a reminder that God already has the victory” and a tool for overcoming negative thoughts.

Scott DeClaire Jr. wrote the song during a vulnerable season when he questioned whether he was “good enough” to step into his music calling. “War of Thoughts was a big song for me because I was struggling at the time to believe that I was good enough to go on this music journey,” Scott shares. “God reminded me that HE has the final say. I still sing this song first every time I play to remind myself.

The lyrics paint a vivid picture of the internal battle: “There’s a war that rages in my head… What voice will I choose to listen to?” The chorus declares victory: “I’m letting go of every thought that tears me down… I trust You Lord… Your Word to win the war. This is a war of thoughts, I get to choose the victor.”
The song emphasizes that believers have the authority to silence lies with God’s truth and identity as His children.

The official lyric video (produced by Dominic DeClaire and created with heart) quickly gained traction. “When ‘War of Thoughts’ took off on YouTube, that was a big validator, like I had a story to share that could really impact people and that God could use me,” Scott reflects. “It pushed me to keep going when I really felt like giving up early.

The song’s message continues to resonate in Kingdom Chorus playlists and live events, offering hope to those who feel the mental and spiritual war is too loud.

“I want the world to experience victory through Jesus. This song is my reminder — and I pray it’s yours too — that we don’t have to stay stuck in the war of thoughts. We get to choose the Victor.”

— Scott DeClaire Jr.

“War of Thoughts” is available on all major streaming platforms including Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, and more. The official lyric video can be watched on YouTube, where it continues to touch lives daily.
