Champion
Plumb Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In Your surrender
You held our name
Before the Father
To gain us back
You never faltered
You gave it all
You gave it all
You would not give up
You said it's not the end
Oh You did not hold back
You are our champion
The day that undid death
The day that rescue won
No You did not hold back
You are our champion
You were denied
So we could be Yours
You bled and died
'Till we were paid for
It was Your life
That gave us our worth
You gave it all
You gave it all
You would not give up
You said it's not the end
Oh You did not hold back
You are our champion
The day that undid death
The day that rescue won
No You did not hold back
You are our champion
You fought for us
Our champion
You died for us
Our champion
You conquered hell
Our champion
Came back to life
Our champion, champion
You would not give up
You said it's not the end
Oh You did not hold back
You are our champion
The day that undid death
The day that rescue won
No You did not hold back
You are our champion
You fought for us
Our champion
You died for us
Our champion
You conquered hell
Our champion
Came back to life
Our champion, champion
The song "Champion" by Plumb is a heartfelt tribute to Jesus Christ, as the ultimate champion who gave up everything and fought for humanity's salvation. The lyrics of this song are rich in religious imagery and references, emphasizing the depth of Christ's sacrifice and his supreme victory over sin and death.
The first verse begins by extolling Christ's surrender, as he held humanity's name before the Father to redeem them. The second verse then elaborates on the manner in which Christ won his victory, by being denied and ultimately dying for humanity's sins. This verse further highlights the value that Christ has given to humanity, as he paid with his own life to give them worth.
The chorus of the song emphasizes Christ's persistent and triumphant spirit as the champion of humanity. It refers to the day when his sacrifice undid death and saved humanity. The chorus repeats the line "You are our champion" to drive home the idea that Christ is the ultimate symbol of hope, freedom, and victory for humanity.
