Confidence
Sanctus Real Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm too afraid to lose
I feel unqualified for what you're calling me to
But Lord with Your strength
I've got no excuse
'Cause broken people are exactly who You use
So give me faith like Daniel in the lion's den
Give me a heart like David, Lord be my defense
So I can face my giants with confidence
You took a shepherd boy
And made him a King
So I'm gonna trust You and give You everything
I'll be a conquerer
'Cause You fight for me
I'll be a champion claiming Your victory
So give me faith like Daniel in the lion's den
Give me hope like Moses in the wilderness
Give me a heart like David, Lord be my defense
So I can face my giants with confidence
I'm gonna sing and shout and shake the walls
I won't stop until I see 'em fall
Gonna stand up, step out when you call
Jesus, Jesus
I'm gonna sing and shout and shake the walls
I won't stop until I see 'em fall
Gonna stand up, step out when you call
Jesus
Give me faith like Daniel in the lion's den
Give me hope like Moses in the wilderness
Give me a heart like David, Lord be my defense
So I can face my giants with confidence, yeah
Give me faith like Daniel in the lion's den
Give me hope like Moses in the wilderness
Give me a heart like David, Lord be my defense
So I can face my giants with confidence
I'll face my giants with confidence
The song "Confidence" by Sanctus Real is a call for God's strength and guidance in facing challenges and fears in life.

The chorus then follows with an appeal to God for faith, hope, and courage like Daniel, Moses, and David respectively. The singer acknowledges that God has a history of using ordinary and unlikely people to do extraordinary things. He then declares his commitment to trust God and follow His call, and to face his giants with confidence.
The lyrics of "Confidence" resonate with many people who struggle with self-doubt and anxiety. The song acknowledges that it is natural to feel afraid and uncertain in the face of challenges, but it reminds us that we can draw strength and inspiration from the stories of the biblical figures who faced seemingly insurmountable obstacles and emerged victorious through faith in God. The song encourages us to trust God and to believe that He can use our weaknesses and failures for His glory.

@SanctusRealMusic
What are some ways you've gained Confidence to face your fears?
@carlosbustillo8950
Believing that God makes us capable when we ask for help.
We are nothing less than his sons.
@yourfullowner
The definition of confidence for the unbeliever: ''The quality of being certain of your abilities or of having trust in people, plans, or the future''
The definition of confidence for the Believer: ''The quality of being certain of God's sovereignty and that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are called according to His purpose.''
1 Timothy 1:7 7 For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of POWER, and of LOVE, and of a SOUND MIND.
Let us repent of our sins and unbelief so that the holy spirit empowers these promises into our lives, and that we may bear much fruit in Christ Jesus, today!
@behappythankful6665
Some of The worldly methods surely worked a little to get confidence but for sure they are all temporary and i have experienced it but By trusting God, praying, reading the bible and listening to Christian songs i found myself gaining Confidence to face my fears, trusting in what Jesus can do for us can change lots of things in us and the changes are not temporary but eternal ❤
@singing4hope
Most of the time I forget to remember that God is bigger than my problems... like your reference to David and Goliath in this song.
@behappythankful6665
singing4hope Don't feel bad for feeling in such way, we all face these moments but one advice I can give you, whenever you are in a situation like that just sing a Christian song that touches you or that you can remember, singing for God in our hard times are action of Grace that enables God to give us peace and help us overcome all our obstacles 😊 this is actually showing how you believe God is greater or if some negative thoughts come just say in your heart or murmur any way you want " Satan I chase you out of my mind in the Name of JESUS" this also shows the evil how you know the power of God. We are not inferior to David, we accepted Jesus as our one and only Lord and saviour and so, God can help us make our giants fall as he did for David, if we choose to act as his word says.
