Background[edit]
"Redeemed" was released on May 3, 2012, as the second single from their seventh studio album, Love Comes to Life. The song is a testimony to the power of redemption. Weaver revealed that the message of the song is an understanding of how God's love for him can redeem his own self-image. He told NewReleaseToday: "'I don't doubt that God loves me; my parents showed that to me. and I've never doubted how God feels about me. There's this problem of never letting that translate to how I feel about myself. I walked around carrying this self-deprecating, self-hating feeling. I sank into a depressed state. I remember being in my garage, my man cave. One day after a workout, I was hating myself. I prayed, 'God, I know You love me completely, but why can't I love me?' I felt the Holy Spirit invade that space in my garage, and He began to deal with my heart. God began to fill my heart and my mind with the stuff that He likes about me. It's unbelievable that the King of the Universe cares about me. He does that because of the blood of Jesus. He made me. He knows me more than anyone else. He told me He loved my smile and my heart for people. He put that inside of me. He broke down that self-hating feeling. I've been sharing my story for the past year, and it has brought people out of the woodwork. It dawned on me one night that I don't feel like I hate myself anymore. That healing is available to all of us. We just need to make ourselves vulnerable before the Lord."[9]
