Thank you for taking the time to read and view our material. The name of our song is entitled, 'Facing Giants'. It takes a biblical principle and applies to everyday life, intenionally keeping it very real to what we face today.
Lyrically it speaks of David vs Goliath but the reality is that Goliath is an everyday giant of suicide, depression, drugs, divorce, homelessness that each of us face in our own way.
The video we have submitted shows the everyday struggle people face of suicide, depression, drugs, divorce, homelessness. Whether you are a Christian or not, these struggles are real. Our goal is for this to be a message that no matter what giants you face, with God you can defeat them all.
We are a Christian based rock band and we want our songs to tell a story of a better way out. Our musical style is diverse. We are not afraid to cross boundaries and push the envelope with our music. We know the battlefield is in the world we 'live' in. There are plenty of musicians and bands who play 'for' the church (and we mean no disrespect to that. Its needed) but Jesus didn't say go to the church and preach, he said go to the world, and right now, the world is a messed up place!
In relation to Ephesians 6 scripture, this song implies that your gong to have to fight the enemy. And if your going into battle, you need your armor. In this case, the armor is turning back to Gods word and seeking him, no matter your battle, no matter the giants that you face. God can overcome these things. The world has become the playground and battle ground of the devil. He preys on the weak and that weakness is a kink in our armor. Our sword is His word. Our minds may be weak but His helmet will dispel the lies. Even when our heart is broken, His shield will protect us, His belt will guide our actions.
We also feel the scripture from Psalm 144 speaks in this as well. (144:1; Praise be to the Lord, my rock, who strengthens my hands for war and my fingers for battle.) Our song 'Facing Giants' talks about these struggles and taking the fight to the enemy. Yes we know, some church people have issues with that very statement. But Jesus didn't tell us to preach to the church, he said go preach to the world and your going to have to be a fighter in this world we live in today.
We don't don our armor and pick up our swords to go to 'Sunday-after-church-pig-picking', we put it on to go to war. 'Facing Giants' is about war. Its about fighting the battle. Its about defeating the enemy. Its an anthem, to pick yourself up, ask God for help and together, slay the demons we all face. Because, in a world full of chaos, orchestrated by the devil himself, it's time for a rebellion, it's time for someone to stand up and fight back, it's time to take up the shield, time to take up the sword, time to prepare for battle, time……...for the Saints to rise. We are the Saints.

FACING GIANTS'
by GOTHAM CITY SAINTS
Tossed out by my family
left alone to survive
Living out in the wilderness
fighting Lions for my life
But I face my Giants one against all
the bigger they are, the harder they fall
Yes I face my Giants and Kill them All
Called forth since my youth
in warfare I have trained
chosen by the living God
to conquer and to reign
But I face my Giants one against all
the bigger they are, the harder they fall
Yes I face my Giants
yes I face my Giants ,one against all
he bigger they are, the harder they fall
Yes I face my Giants, and Kill them All
~SOLO~
From the wilderness I came through
to take my rightful place
and tho I sinned along the way
my Father still showed Grace
I will lead my armies to the end
and see that they return home
We will bow in honor at the feet
of the One who sits on the throne
Yes I face my Giants one against all
the bigger they are, the harder they fall
yes I face my Giants
Yes I face my Giants one against all
the bigger they are, the harder they fall
yes I face my Giants
yes I face my Giants ,one against all
he bigger they are, the harder they fall
Yes I face my Giants, and Kill them All
