The Redeemed

This song is literally the best song I have ever heard, ever. Matty Mullins is such a crazy talented writer. I remember hearing this song for the first time thinking "Wow. Matt completely gets it. He truly knows what matters in life, and what the meaning of life is. He understands the true meaning of Christianity. He gets it." It blew me away. I have to listen to this song almost daily. It is an incredible reminder that the things of this life don't matter and that our bones are only temporary, and that there is something so much greater coming after this life. It helps put everything in perspective, and get's my life back on track. It reminds me that I am never alone, God is always with me. This song has changed my life in so many ways. I don't think Matt fully understands the impact this whole album has made on so many people. This song gives me chills every time I hear it. Eventually I plan on getting lyrics from this song tattooed on me. Because this song embodies Christianity in so may ways. It puts life into perspective and gives people hope for the future. I want others to see my tattoo and ask me about it so I can tell them what this song means and pass on the message to others!

Let go of everything, 
Let go of everything!

What is it that you are holding on to?
What will it matter when every history book is consumed in the flames?
Soon it will be like you never existed,
Not a single soul will remember your name!

Everyone is flawed,
Everyone has a story to tell.
But every story has an ending,
So stop acting like there won't be one!

These bones are only, only temporary.
(Let go of all you know.)
You're on your own, but not alone.
You'll never be alone.

These bones are temporary,
Let go of all you know.
(Let go of all you know.)
The destination lies ahead
And we are not alone.
We are not our own!

Forget then, live right now.
Everything rides on tomorrow.
When that day comes will you hear (will you hear)
"Well done, well done."?

Your eternity is worth so much
More than their opinions of you.
Defined not by where you've been,
Knowing that you'll be made new!

These bones are only, only temporary.
(Let go of all you know.)
You're on your own, but not alone.
You'll never be alone.

These bones are temporary,
Let go of all you know.
(Let go of all you know.)
The destination lies ahead
And we are not alone.
We are not our own!

I can't say 
The past will never get in the way.
Just remember, all things come and go,
But they don't mean a thing.
It's not about what you have now,
It's what you have in store.

Let go.
The destination lies ahead
And we are not alone.
(It's not about what you have now,
What do you have in store?)

Let go.
These bones are only temporary,
We are not alone.
(It's not about what you have now,
What do you have in store?)

Let go. (These bones are only temporary)
The destination lies ahead
And we are not alone.
(You're on your own, but not alone.
What do you have in store?)

Let go. (These bones are only temporary)
These bones are only temporary,
We are not alone.
(You're on your own, but not alone.
You'll never be alone.)
