Champion
Dante Bowe Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Took me so long to believe it
That You choose someone like me
To carry Your victory
Perfection could never earn it
You give what we don't deserve it
You take the broken things
And raise them to glory
You are my Champion
Giants fall when You stand
Undefeated
Every battle You've won
I am who you say I am
You crown me with confidence
I am seated
In the heavenly place
Undefeated
With the One who has conquered it all
Now I can finally see it
You're teaching me how to receive it
So let all the striving cease
This is my victory
You are my Champion
Giants fall when You stand
Undefeated
Every battle You've won
I am who you say I am
You crown me with confidence
I am seated
In the heavenly place
Undefeated
With the One who has conquered it all
When I lift my voice and shout
Every wall comes crashing down
I have the authority
Jesus has given me
When I open up my mouth
Miracles start breaking out
I have the authority
Jesus has given me
When I lift my voice and shout
Every wall comes crashing down
I have the authority
Jesus has given me
When I open up my mouth
Miracles start breaking out
I have the authority
Jesus has given me
You are my Champion
Giants fall when You stand
Undefeated
Every battle You've won
I am who you say I am
You crown me with confidence
I am seated
In the heavenly place
Undefeated
By the power of Your name
I am seated
In the heavenly place
Undefeated
With the One who has conquered it all
When I lift my voice and shout
Every wall comes crashing down
I have the authority
Jesus has given me
When I open up my mouth
Miracles start breaking out
I have the authority
Jesus has given me
When I lift my voice and shout
Every wall comes crashing down
I have the authority
Jesus has given me
When I open up my mouth
Miracles start breaking out
I have the authority
Jesus has given me
You are my Champion
Giants fall when You stand
Undefeated
Every battle You've won
I am who you say I am
You crown me with confidence
I am seated
In the heavenly place
Undefeated
By the power of Your name
I am seated
In the heavenly place
Undefeated
With the One who has conquered it all
The song “Champion” by Dante Bowe is a powerful expression of faith that talks about victory - not just in the conventional sense of overcoming obstacles, but in the context of the Christian faith. The song is centered on the concept that as believers, we are champions because Jesus Christ chose us to be. The song starts by acknowledging how hard it can be to see oneself as a champion; it seems impossible that someone so broken and imperfect could be chosen to carry victory. But as the song progresses, it becomes clear that perfection isn't necessary to be a champion because victory is something given by God, not something earned by humans. The song builds to a powerful crescendo in the bridge of the song when the singer declares that miracles happen when they speak because of the authority given to them by Jesus.
Throughout the song, the idea of being seated in heavenly places is woven into the lyrics. It's a reference to Ephesians 2:6 which says, "And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus." This is saying that when Christ conquered death, we were also declared victorious because He chose us to be part of His victory. The song’s message is that as believers, we have the victory because of Jesus, not because of anything we have done. It's a reminder that our identity is rooted in His love for us and that He is the one who crowns us with confidence. In summary, “Champion” is a song that speaks of victory, authority, and identity in Christ.

@@civ6825 you're the one who needs help. Everyone are worshipping the same God there's nothing wrong with their songs, their songs are anointed and powerful.
And from whatever you've mentioned in the comments they're mere rumours if it was true that would reflect In their song writing. Thats Kelly's daughter what you are saying they were not conjuring or doing dark magic to raise that girl in the way you're mentioning. Jesus brought dead people alive. And he said you'll do more greater and powerful things than what I've done, they were praying for the lord to give her life back, not even them everyone all around the world were praying for her, but it's God will it was her time to leave she left.
In fact people like you should be alarmed, as the lord says anyone will tell you Jesus has come there has come here spreading rumours, you'll run.
Nothing's wrong in listening or worshiping their songs or sermon. I've never ever felt that they're preaching wrong stuff, if it was so the spirit of the lord immediately warns you about it.
I've seen many giving wrong teachings but it depends upon us what to take in, if you're strong in faith and you know words of the lord no one can deceive you.

I was born a Muslim in Iraq. I was worried and depressed, sitting and looking at the Tigris River in my city.Jesus' face appeared to me in the water and told me. "Son, you're not alone" And now I'm a Christian, and I pray every day at the edge of the river.Thank you Jesus for this grace. I'm not alone right now. Jesus is with me.
@matthewschardtii1338
Thats an amazing testimony! Do you know that Jesus has been frequently visiting Muslims and leading them to Christianity? Jesus really is amazing!
