Champion Is Released

There is nothing like celebrating faith in the Lord Jesus than singing a high praise or inspirational song that just shifts you into a place of peace and joy. Robert Hawkins and Christian Hip Hop recording artist Bryan Carter, aka Saint, released a new single titled Champion. An anthem song is needed for all of us who are still standing in the full armor of God. Trusting and believing that purpose is a journey and at times a fight. Robert Hawkins is a multi-award-winning singer and songwriter. He has experienced life at the high moments of greatness with honor and has lived through low and turbulent pits of anguish. Saint launched his career in 2012 and his recent single Hold Me Together landed on Billboard’s Gospel Chart. Saint is no stranger to despair, and he is able to add his lyrics of encouragement to the track. Robert Hawkins and Saint united their remarkable talents to create an uplifting anthem. Champion resonates with themes of empowerment and victory. The synergy between these two artists can be heard loud and clear and both agree it’s a divine appointment. Their unique blend of powerful lyrics will touch the hearts of many listeners. The bible encourages us to praise and rejoice no matter what is going on. It is written: Therefore be careful how you walk, not as unwise men, but as wise, making the most of your time, because the days are evil. As believers, we understand, In Christ Jesus, no matter how evil these days may become. We know we are champions.
