Casting Crowns' song "Song That The Angels Can't Sing" celebrates the unique joy of redemption that only redeemed sinners can experience. The lyrics emphasize how God saved the singer from sin and suffering, and how angels, who have never known salvation's need, cannot fully grasp this song. It references being lost and found, and echoes the classic hymn "Amazing Grace." The song expresses gratitude for deliverance, new identity in Christ, and freedom from chains, highlighting the personal nature of God's saving work.

I have a song that the angels can't sing
You saved my weary soul from all my sin and pain and suffering
A song of the redeemed
I once was lost but You found me
Oh, I have a song that the angels can't sing
I have a song that the angels can't sing
You stepped out of Your throne all wrapped in flesh
You made Yourself like me
A song of righteousness I couldn't reach 'til You reached me
Oh, I have a song that the angels can't sing
Oh, glory hallelujah to the Lamb that was slain
I cannot hold it in
You've given me a brand new name
A song of my deliverance
You've broken all my chains and I am free
Oh, I have a song the angels can't sing
I have a song that the angels can't sing
I was sentenced to a life in chains
No hope for being free
You opened up the door and said, ?Come on and follow Me?
Now I have a song that the angels can't sing
I have a song that the angels can't sing
It goes, ?Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost but now I'm found
Was blind but now I see?
Now I have a song that the angels can't sing
Oh, I have a song that the angels can't sing
Now I have a song that the angels can't sing
Oh, I have a song the angels can't sing
Oh, I have a song the angels can't sing
