Say So
Israel & New Breed Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Isn't it more than just a prayer to pray?
More than just a way to heaven.
What does it mean to be His?
To be formed in His likeness,
Know that we have a purpose.
To be salt and light
To be salt and light in the world
Let the redeemed of the Lord say so
Let the redeemed of the Lord say so
Let the redeemed of the Lord say so
Say so, say so.
Oh, that the church would arise
Oh that we would see with Jesus eyes.
We could show the world heaven
Show what it means to be His
To be formed in His likeness
Show them they have a purpose
To be salt and light
In the world, in the world
To be salt and light
In the world.
To be salt and light
In the world, in the world.
To be salt and light
In the world.
Let the redeemed of the Lord say so
Let the redeemed of the Lord say so
Let the redeemed of the Lord say so
Say so, say so.
I am redeemed,
I am redeemed,
I am redeemed,
I am redeemed,
I am redeemed,
I am redeemed.
I am redeemed,
I am redeemed,
I am redeemed,
I am redeemed,
I am redeemed,
I am redeemed.
To be salt and light
In the world, in the world.
To be salt and light
In the world.
To be salt and light
In the world, in the world
To be salt and light
In the world.
To be salt and light
In the world, in the world, in the world
In the world, in the world.
Let the redeemed of the Lord rise up
Let the redeemed of the Lord rise up
Let the redeemed of the Lord rise up
Rise up, Rise up.
Let the redeemed of the Lord say so
Let the redeemed of the Lord say so
Let the redeemed of the Lord say so
Say so, say so.
I am redeemed,
I am redeemed,
I am redeemed,
I am redeemed,
I am redeemed,
I am redeemed.
I am redeemed,
I am redeemed,
I am redeemed,
I am redeemed,
I am redeemed,
I am redeemed.
Let the redeemed of the Lord say so
Let the redeemed of the Lord say so
Let the redeemed of the Lord say so
Say so, say so, say so.
The song "Say So" by Israel & New Breed is a call to action for believers to live out their faith and be a light in the world. The lyrics question what it truly means to be saved and to be formed in God's likeness. The song emphasizes that being a Christian is more than just a prayer or a means to get to heaven, but rather it is a call to be salt and light in the world.
To be "salt and light" is a reference to Jesus' teachings in Matthew 5:13-16. He tells his followers that they are the salt of the earth and the light of the world, and that they should let their light shine before others so that they may see their good deeds and glorify God. The song encourages the redeemed, those who have been saved by Christ, to say so and proclaim their faith to the world. It calls for the church to rise up and show the world what it means to be a follower of Jesus.
Overall, "Say So" is a message of empowerment for believers to live out their faith and make a difference in the world. It challenges them to go beyond just saying they believe in God, but to show that belief through their actions and be a positive influence in the world around them.

Dime que es la salvación?
Acaso no es mas
Que decir una oración
Mas que un camino
Hacia el cielo
Que quiere decir ser de El
Que fui creado a su imagen
Y con un propósito existo
Pre-Coro
/El de ser la sal
Y la luz de la tierra
El de ser la sal y la luz/
Coro
//Los redimidos digan
Aquí estoy//
Dilo, dilo
//Los redimidos digan
Aquí estoy//
Dilo, dilo
Verso 2
Iglesia levántate ya
Para ver con los ojos
Que Cristo ve
Podríamos mostrar
El cielo
Muestra lo que es ser de El
Ser creado a su imagen
Diles cual es su destino
Puente
//Redimido Soy
Soy Redimido//
//Redimido Soy
Soy Redimido//
//Que los redimidos
Se levanten hoy//
Vamos, vamos

I remember Stephen Darby Ministries singing this song at their church! I love this song!!!!!! I miss SD man! I never heard this song before until I heard it at their church!! AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!

2021 and this song still has a powerful message to all Christians! We are to be the SALT and LIGHT! Jesus said that if the salt loses it's flavor it is worth nothing but to be trampled on. We are also to be the LIGHT. We should be standing up and speaking out about Righteousness and speaking TRUTH. The church has grown silent on the immoral lifestyles that everyone has accepted as "Just part of society today" Just because Society accepts something does NOT mean it is OK with GOD!!! We are the Redeemed meaning we were Bought with a Price. Jesus death on the Cross. BE SALT! Be LIGHT!
