Radically Saved
Carman Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And God's still on the throne
There's power in the blood
And I'm saved to the bone
If the devil comes against me
He's gonna feel some pain
Cause I can bind him,
Bruise him, cast him out
By the power of Jesus name
CHORUS
No longer on the outside
On the inside I now stand
I'm sold out the whole route
Completely born again
I believe on the third day
Jesus rose from the grave
The world thinks I'm crazy
But I'm just radically saved
(repeat Chorus)
Choose you this day
Tell me who do you serve
Now's the time to stand up
And let your voice be heard
You gotta come out from among the rest
You gotta tell the gospel tale
You tell them black is black
And white is white
And hell is hot
And sin ain't right
And God is holy
And Christ is coming
And righteousness will prevail
I tell it to you once
I tell it to you twice
The only thing that's gonnna change this world
Is the gospel of Jesus Christ
Wimpy saints won't survive
In spiritual warfare
If you know that Jesus is the only way
Let me hear somebody say yeah
CHORUS
No longer on the outside
On the inside I now stand
Do you know what it's like to be
I'm sold out the whole route, anybody here born again
I believe on the third day
Jesus rose from the grave
The world thinks we're crazy
Our friends think we're crazy
Our family thinks we're crazy
But we are just what?
We're just radically saved
In Carman's song "Radically Saved," the lyrics express the singer's unshakable faith in Jesus Christ and his belief in the power of God. The opening lines declare that Jesus Christ is Lord, and despite any troubles or difficulties in life, God remains on the throne. The phrase "saved to the bone" illustrates the singer's complete commitment to his faith, and his belief that the power of the blood of Christ is all-encompassing.
The chorus speaks to the singer's joy in being an insider in the community of believers, finally "completely born again." He proclaims his belief in the resurrection of Jesus on the third day, and that his faith may be considered radical by the world around him. The final verse calls on other believers to stand up and proclaim the gospel, without fear or shame, as the only answer to the world's problems, while encouraging believers to be strong in their faith, and unafraid of spiritual warfare.
Overall, "Radically Saved" is a powerful and moving song that testifies to the depth of the singer's faith and the transformative power of encountering Jesus Christ. It encourages believers to stand firm in their belief, even in the face of opposition or persecution, and it calls on all those who have experienced the saving grace of God to spread the gospel and change the world.
