Story Behind The Song

I'm a Conqueror was born out of a season of accusation, weakness, and spiritual struggle. It began as an honest reflection on what it means to return to life after being worn down by failure, rejection, and deception. Rather than celebrating personal resilience, the song emerged from the realisation that survival -- and victory -- were only possible through surrender to God. The lyrics reflect a turning point: choosing to run back to the Father, lay everything before His holy throne, and trust in His mercy and grace. In that place of repentance and dependence, strength was restored, not as self-confidence, but as assurance rooted in Christ. The imagery of armour, the Word as a sword, and the Lion of Judah comes from Scripture and represents spiritual warfare fought from behind Jesus, not ahead of Him. The declaration "I'm a conqueror" is not a claim of personal power, but an echo of the truth that victory belongs to those who stand in Christ. The song exists as a testimony -- a reminder that no one saves themselves, and that true triumph flows from the sacrifice of Jesus and the faithfulness of God.

I'm a Conqueror is a victory testimony spoken by someone who knows he did not save himself. The song reflects a journey from weakness and accusation to restoration and confidence found in Jesus Christ. Rooted in repentance, mercy, and grace, it declares that true victory comes not through personal strength, but through Christ's sacrifice and the power of God's Word.

Lyrics

I'm a Conqueror

Verse 1:
Well, hello there, life--guess who's back again;
I told you long ago I would return.
You said that I was weak, but I found my strength
In the mighty arms of the Lord.

You see, I didn't come back on my own this time,
I've got Jesus standing at my back.
You called me worthless, said I was nobody--
But I stand secure, the Saviour's got my back.

Pre-Chorus:
Everything you put me through just showed me
I was never meant to stand alone.
So I ran back to the Father,
Laid my whole life before His holy throne.

The Father is forgiving, rich in mercy and in grace,
He washed and renewed my heart.
There is hope within the sight of the Lord--
Come and lay your life before His holy throne.

Chorus:
I've got my boots on, I've got my armour on,
I've got the Lion of Judah--His Word, my sword.
The blood of Jesus paid my wages,
You're a liar--through Him, I'm a conqueror.

I've got my crown on, I've got my shine on,
The light of the Lord is glowing from within.
Jesus took the hit for the whole team,
You're a liar--through Him, I'm a conqueror.

Verse 2:
Oh, that look in your eyes--I see through the lies,
You sold me empty promises to steal my soul.
But the light of the Lord exposed your schemes,
And you ran straight back to the darkness.

Oh, the stench of your words--you're trapped in your lies,
You said the Lord wasn't good to steal my soul.
But the light of the Lord revealed the truth,
And you ran straight back to the darkness. (Pre-Chorus + Chorus)
