Unredeemed

I love this song. Amy, the woman singing had this to say about it:

"By the time we came to choose "Unredeemed" for the album, it had been almost 3 years in the making. We were in the process of choosing one last single for the album and I had listened to dozens of songs. Truth be told, I didn't want to listen to one more; and I didn't. All day long I ignored Todd's e-mail with the demo attached. Finally, at about midnight, I figured I should listen to it so I could say that I had. I listened to "Unredeemed" and cried my eyes out. I spent about an hour just listening to it over and over. I've never had such an intense emotional reaction to a song before. Through those lyrics God reminded me that the people in my life who have gone astray will one day be redeemed; that the feeling of doubt and low self-esteem will one day be redeemed; that no matter how bad the pain is in this life, He will redeem it. That night I laid some things at Jesus' feet, and I can only pray that as you listen to the song, you are as moved as I was."

I, like Amy, was in tears when I first heard this song. And I too had to lay some things at Jesus' feet that night. (Be sure to pause the music on the playlist at the bottom of the blog.)
