I tried so hard to see it
Took me so long to believe it
That You'd choose someone like me
To carry Your victory
Perfection could never earn it
You give what we don't deserve and
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
And 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 (Mmm)
Now I can finally see it
You're teaching me how to receive it
So let all the striving cease (Woah)
This is my victory
'Cause You are my champion
Giants fall when You stand
Undefeated, every battle, You've won
I am who You say I am (Yeah, You crown)
You crown me with confidence
I am seated in the heavenly place
Undefeated with the One who has conquered it all
It all, it all, it all, it all, it all, it all
It all, it all, You've conquered it all (Yeah)
There is nothing missing (You never lost a battle)
There is nothing missing, oh
Yeah, Your record is perfect
There is nothing missing
There is nothing empty (Oh)
There is nothing void
You've done it all (Just open up your mouth tonight, hey)
You've done it all (Hey)
Oh-oh (We have the victory)
When I lift
And when I lift my voice and shout
Every wall comes crashing down
I have the authority (Hey)
That Jesus has given me (Jesus given me)
And when I open up my mouth
Miracles start breaking out
I have the authority (Oh)
That Jesus has given me ('Cause when I lift)
When I lift my voice and shout
Every wall comes crashing down
I have the authority (Hey)
That Jesus has given me ('Cause when I lift)
And when I open up my mouth
Miracles start breaking out
I have the authority (Oh), when I
That Jesus has given me
Oh, when I open up
When I open up my mouth
Miracles start breaking out
I have the authority
That Jesus has given me

Every giants fall when You stand

The song is a collaboration between Maverick City Music and Bethel Music, featuring lead vocalist Dante Bowe. It was released in 2020 as part of the Maverick City Vol. 3, Pt. 2 album.
The lyrics of "Champion" speak of the victory and authority that believers have in Jesus Christ.

It speaks of the grace and love that God freely gives, despite our imperfections and shortcomings. The chorus declares that Jesus is our champion, and when He stands, giants fall. It emphasizes that every battle has already been won by Him.
