Mandisa - Overcomer Lyrics
Lyrics
Staring at a stop sign
Watching people drive by
T Mac on the radio
Got so much on your mind
Nothing's really going right
Looking for a ray of hope
Whatever it is you may be going through
I know He's not gonna let it get the best of you
You're an overcomer
Stay in the fight 'til the final round
You're not going under
'Cause God is holding you right now
You might be down for a moment
Feeling like it's hopeless
That's when He reminds You
That you're an overcomer
You're an overcomer
Everybody's been down
Hit the bottom, hit the ground
Oh, you're not alone
Just take a breath, don't forget
Hang on to His promises
He wants You to know
The same Man, the Great I am
The one who overcame death
Is living inside of You
So just hold tight, fix your eyes
On the one who holds your life
There's nothing He can't do
He's telling You

Mandisa - Overcomer
Meaning & Inspiration
Mandisa's powerful anthem, "Overcomer," released on September 12, 2013, stands as a beacon of hope and resilience, resonating deeply with anyone who has faced trials and sought strength beyond themselves. At its core, the song is a profound declaration of faith in the face of adversity, drawing directly from the unshakeable promises found within Scripture. The central message is one of empowerment, not from our own abilities, but from the divine power available to us through Christ. It paints a vivid picture of individuals walking through life's storms, acknowledging the weight of their struggles, but ultimately recognizing that they are far more than their circumstances. This aligns perfectly with the Apostle Paul’s words in 2 Corinthians 4:8-9, where he states, "We are hard-pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed." The song encourages listeners to understand their identity not as victims, but as victors, because of the victorious power of God working within them. This echoes the sentiment in Romans 8:37, which confidently declares, "No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us." "Overcomer" speaks directly to the human experience of feeling overwhelmed, yet it redirects that focus from the sheer difficulty of the situation to the unwavering support of a God who equips and upholds. It's a reminder that even when we feel inadequate, God's grace is sufficient, as He promised in 2 Corinthians 12:9: "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Mandisa's delivery infuses the song with a genuine warmth and an unshakeable belief, inviting listeners to embrace their own capacity to overcome, not through their own might, but by leaning into the enduring strength and love of God, who has already guaranteed our victory.
