Know Wonder - Conquered Lyrics
Lyrics
Steady now
I tell my self time and again
Forgetting how
You've never failed me in the end
You've seen it all before
And still, you're love endures
When the storm comes a little bit stronger
Where the road runs a little bit longer
When it feels like the good days are numbered
I'll run to the father, who's already conquered it all
Run to the father, who's already conquered it all
Run to the father, He's already conquered it all
Letting go
Of all those thoughts I thought I knew
And take a hold
Oh, of the joy I've forever found in You
You've seen it all before
And still, you're love endures
When the storm comes a little bit stronger
Where the road runs a little bit longer
When it feels like the good days are numbered
I'll run to the father, who's already conquered it all
Run to the father, who's already conquered it all
Run to the father, He's already conquered it all
No fall too far to fall from Grace
No debt unpaid He took my place
No fall too far to fall from Grace
No debt unpaid You too my place
You've seen it all before
And still, you're love endures
When the storm comes a little bit stronger
Where the road runs a little bit longer
When it feels like the good days are numbered
I'll run to the father, He's already conquered it all
When the storm comes a little bit stronger
Where the road runs a little bit longer
When it feels like the good days are numbered
I'll run to the father, He's already conquered it all
Run to the father, He's already conquered it all
Run to the father, He's already conquered it all

Know Wonder - Conquered (Lyric Video)
Meaning & Inspiration
Know Wonder's "Conquered," released as a lyric video on December 9, 2019, arrives as a profound and timely anthem of faith, offering solace and strength in a world often defined by its struggles. This powerful song delves deep into the human experience of doubt and anxiety, masterfully redirecting our focus towards the unwavering truth of divine sovereignty. It serves as a spiritual compass, guiding us through life's inevitable storms by reminding us of a Father whose victory over all adversity is already secured.
The song immediately establishes a relatable internal monologue, beginning with the speaker attempting to self-soothe by urging themselves to "steady now." This reflects a common human tendency to forget past deliverances and grow anxious in the face of new challenges, despite knowing God has "never failed me in the end." The lyrics beautifully articulate God's eternal perspective, noting, "You've seen it all before, And still, Your love endures." This echoes scriptural truths like those found in Hebrews 13:5, assuring us that God will never abandon us, and Lamentations 3:22-23, which speaks to the unfailing nature of His mercies that are new every morning. It’s a gentle yet firm call to remember God's faithfulness even when our own memories falter.
As the narrative progresses, the song paints vivid pictures of life's hardships: "When the storm comes a little bit stronger, Where the road runs a little bit longer, When it feels like the good days are numbered." These evocative phrases capture the universal dread of overwhelming trials, extended periods of difficulty, and the fear of an end to comfort. In such moments of vulnerability and despair, the song offers an immediate and transformative response: "I'll run to the Father, who's already conquered it all." This isn't merely a suggestion but a declaration of unwavering trust. The repetition of this core message reinforces the central theological truth that through Christ, victory is assured, as Romans 8:37 proclaims, "in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us." This divine triumph over sin, death, and the world—as described in Colossians 2:15 where Jesus "disarmed the powers and authorities, he made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them by the cross"—is the bedrock of the believer's hope.
The theme deepens further with the call to surrender our limited human understanding, expressing, "Letting go, Of all those thoughts I thought I knew." This act of humility is crucial for embracing the "joy I've forever found in You." It speaks to the wisdom of Proverbs 3:5-6, which instructs us to "trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding." By releasing our grip on self-reliance and intellectual pride, we open ourselves to the profound and lasting peace that "transcends all understanding," as mentioned in Philippians 4:7, and the "fullness of joy" found in God’s presence (Psalm 16:11). The lyrical journey here is one from anxious striving to joyful submission.
The bridge of the song delivers an incredibly powerful and concise statement about the depth of God's grace and redemption: "No fall too far to fall from Grace, No debt unpaid He took my place." This serves as an anchor for anyone who feels lost, condemned, or burdened by past mistakes. It beautifully encapsulates the Gospel message, echoing Romans 8:1 that "there is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus," and Ephesians 2:8-9, emphasizing salvation through grace by faith. The profound truth that Christ "took my place," as highlighted in Isaiah 53:5 where "he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities," means that no sin is too great for His atoning sacrifice. This declaration liberates and empowers, underscoring the boundless nature of God’s love and His complete work on the cross.
"Conquered" by Know Wonder, therefore, is more than just a song; it's a spiritual exhortation, a comforting embrace, and a theological affirmation. It steadfastly reminds us that in the midst of life's fiercest battles and deepest despair, our ultimate victory is already secured through the Father who has triumphantly overcome all things. It beckons us to pivot from fear to faith, from striving to surrender, and from our own limited strength to the limitless power of God’s enduring love, providing a deep well of encouragement for anyone navigating the challenges of their earthly journey.
