My Jesus is better
Than anything in this world
He loves me, I love Him
So I give Him everything

He gave His life for me

My Saviour

Is living in me
Redeemer
JESUS He set me free

He's living in my heart
He gave me a new start
I asked Him, He came in
And washed away all my sin

He gave His life for me
He died to set me free

If You can use anything
Won't You use me
Take me and break me and
Mould me and make me
You died for me
So I'm living for You
I'm living for You
I'm living for You

Whoa!
Jesus He set me free

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Planetshakers' song "Redeemer" express the greatness and love of Jesus, who is better than anything in this world. The singer declares that Jesus loves them and they reciprocate with great affection and give Him everything. The chorus emphasizes the redemptive work of Jesus, who gave His life to set the believer free from sin. The singer testifies that they have experienced this freedom and their life is now defined by having Jesus living in them as their Savior and Redeemer. He gave them a new start after washing away all their sins.

The second verse highlights the transformative work of Jesus in a person's life, as He lives in their heart, and how He is willing to use anyone who surrenders to Him. The singer offers themselves to be used by God, asking Him to mold and break them into what He wants them to be. This is a declaration of submission, as the believer recognizes that Jesus died for them and that they should live for Him. The song ends with an exclamation of freedom that Jesus has brought, celebrating this newfound freedom in Christ.
