Confident

Steffany Gretzinger's song 'Confident' is a powerful declaration of faith and trust in a higher power. The lyrics convey a deep sense of reliance on God's unseen presence and unwavering faithfulness. The opening lines, 'You're always moving in the unseen / The breath you exhale sustaining me,' suggest a divine presence that is always at work, even when not visible. This unseen force is a source of sustenance and support, knowing the singer's needs even before they are expressed. The recurring theme of God's faithfulness provides a foundation for the singer's confidence and peace.

The chorus reinforces this message of trust and rest in God's righteousness. 'I'm confident your faithfulness / Will see me through / My soul can rest, my righteousness / Is found in you,' speaks to the assurance that God's faithfulness will guide and protect. The idea of 'borrowed breath' emphasizes the transient nature of life and the importance of dedicating every moment to this divine relationship. The lyrics also highlight the transformative power of God's presence, turning mourning into joy and lifting the singer's head to see the heavenly support surrounding them.

The song also addresses the futility of relying on one's own strength in life's battles. 'I won't win this battle / With the strength of my own hands / You're the mountain mover, and only you can,' acknowledges that true victory and stability come from God alone. The metaphor of building one's life on 'sinking sand' versus the 'rock' of God's hope underscores the importance of a solid spiritual foundation. The repetition of 'All other ground is sinking sand' serves as a reminder of the impermanence and unreliability of worldly things compared to the eternal and steadfast nature of divine support. Through its heartfelt lyrics and evocative imagery, 'Confident' is a testament to the power of faith and the peace that comes from trusting in a higher power.
