Taylor Tripodi has finally released the title track for her upcoming album, 'This is Redemption,' a project of almost 5 years finally ready for release. The inspiration comes after a long struggle with the Lord living a prodigal lifestyle. Taylor pours her heart into this song, a song that declares no one is too far gone for God's mercy. Inspired by St. Faustina's words, 'The greater the sinner the more right they have to the Lord's mercy,' she reminds us that redemption isn't just for the "put-together", redemption is especially for all who feel that they are broken beyond repair.
The lyrics of the song look at the tension we feel between shame and His grace: "Mirrors can't hide the memories I've buried inside." Instead of running away from our past, Taylor invites us to embrace our past in a new light, "I'm learning to see where I've been in the light of love." His love changes everything, and it's in His love that we may see that "There's no reason to run, I wouldn't be who I am without who I was."
God turns your pain into purpose, "You're turning my past into promise," giving you hope and new direction. Your story isn't over, it's still unfolding. May this song gently nudge you to step into His presence and find healing.
