  • I can finally see
    That you're right there beside me
    I am not my own
    For I have been made new
    Please don't let me go
    I desperately need you

    I am not my own
    For I have been made new
    Please don't let me go
    I desperately need you Writer/s: ADAM R. YOUNG

  • Literallyno from Boston, MaMimzymusic, literally no hahhhahah this is not a POV from the Challenger astronauts' perspective after going to heaven.

    Look at the lyrics:

    I can finally see that You're right there beside me
    I am not my own, for I have been made new
    Please don't let me go I desperately need You

    I am not my own, for I have been made new
    Please don't let me go I desperately need You

    It's literally a song about him finding God ("I can finally see that you're right there beside me") and being made new in Christ ("for I have been made new")

    I am dyyyying
  • Mimzymusic from Portland, OrThis song is actually, I believe, a tribute to the Challenger astronauts, believe it or not.

    The reason I know this, is because I went to his concert on April 3, 2010, the day before Easter, and he played clips about the Challenger before the song, and when you listen to the lyrics, it does make sense. Basically the song is about how it's okay because they're with God now =)
