Alex Campos - Soy Valiente Lyrics
Lyrics
Tengo vida, tengo un Dios que es eterno
Voy seguro pues escucho hoy tu voz
Mis canciones son de Cristo y no lo niego
Aunque algunos me critiquen este amor
Yo me aferro a lo que dice su palabra
Soy su hijo por el cual allí murió
Soy guerrero, soy valiente y no le corro
Al gigante yo derroto con mi Dios
En la vida no hay momento más hermoso
Que encontrarse con el buen Dios creador
No hay persona más hermosa en el mundo
Como aquel el cual yo llamo salvador
Han pasado varios años desde el día
Que del lodo su amor me rescato
Iba errante por el mundo y sin salida
Hasta que mi vida Cristo rescato
Hoy mi vida defino en cuatro palabras
Dios, familia, mi llamado y esta voz
Lo que tengo a mi Dios yo se lo debo
Si he llegado hasta aquí es por su amor
Viviré intensamente hasta que muera
Se que un día en la gloria estaré
Mientras tanto mis canciones yo le canto
Esperando su regreso otra vez
En la vida no hay momento más hermoso
Que encontrarse con el buen Dios creador
No hay persona más hermosa en el mundo
Como aquel el cual yo llamo salvador
Han pasado varios años desde el día
Que del lodo su amor me rescato
Iba errante por el mundo y sin salida
Hasta que mi vida Cristo rescato

Meaning & Inspiration
Alex Campos's "Soy Valiente," released in 2016 as part of the album *Momentos*, is a powerful anthem of unwavering faith and redemption, deeply rooted in biblical truth. The song’s narrative immediately plunges into a declaration of an eternal God and a secure walk, propelled by divine guidance. Campos boldly states that his music belongs to Christ, a stance he holds firm despite any criticism, echoing the Apostle Paul’s declaration in Romans 1:16, "For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes." This conviction forms the bedrock of the song, a testament to a life irrevocably transformed.
The core message of "Soy Valiente" revolves around an unshakeable identity found in Christ. Campos identifies himself as a child of God, ransomed by His sacrifice, and moreover, as a warrior, courageous and unwilling to flee from challenges. The imagery of facing down giants is a potent metaphor for overcoming adversity, directly drawing parallels with biblical accounts like David and Goliath, where courage was not inherent but divinely bestowed. The lyrics assert, "Soy guerrero, soy valiente y no le corro / Al gigante yo derroto con mi Dios," which speaks to the empowering truth found in Philippians 4:13: "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." This isn't about personal bravery, but the courage that flows from a surrendered life to the One who has already conquered.
A significant portion of the song celebrates the profound encounter with the Creator. Campos describes no moment in life as more beautiful than meeting God, the good Creator, and no person as more lovely than his Savior. This sentiment resonates deeply with the Psalmist's cry in Psalm 42:1, "As the deer pants for the water so my soul pants for you, O God," highlighting an intrinsic longing for divine presence. The repeated refrain emphasizes this transformative relationship, framing it as the ultimate good, a truth that underpins the Christian walk.
The autobiographical element in "Soy Valiente" adds a layer of authenticity and inspiration. Campos recounts years passed since being rescued from the "lodo" (mud) by God's love, having wandered without direction. This vividly illustrates the concept of being lost and found, a narrative central to the parables of Jesus, particularly the prodigal son in Luke 15, who was welcomed home after straying. The song’s progression from a state of being "errante por el mundo y sin salida" to finding salvation through Christ emphasizes the complete renewal that faith brings, a theme echoed in 2 Corinthians 5:17: "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!"
Finally, Campos defines his current life in four key pillars: God, family, calling, and voice. This concise summary underscores a life intentionally surrendered and directed. He attributes all he has to God's love and grace, acknowledging that any progress made is a result of divine favor, not personal merit. The song concludes with a resolve to live intensely until death and the confident expectation of eternal glory, while continuing to offer songs of praise, awaiting Christ's return. This forward-looking hope is the very essence of Christian perseverance, a message of living fully in the present while keeping an eternal perspective, as encouraged in Hebrews 12:1-2, which calls believers to run with endurance the race set before them, fixing their eyes on Jesus. "Soy Valiente" is more than just a song; it’s a declaration of faith, a testimony of transformation, and a powerful reminder of the unshakeable strength found in God.
