Israel Houghton's song 'Say So' challenges believers to live out their faith beyond a simple prayer, emphasizing that being saved means being transformed into Christ's likeness and serving as salt and light in the world. The lyrics call the church to arise, see through Jesus' eyes, and show heaven to others. The repeated declaration 'Let the redeemed of the Lord say so' echoes Psalm 107:2, urging believers to boldly testify of their redemption. The song is an uplifting, worshipful anthem that encourages Christians to embrace their purpose and actively share God's love through their lives.

What does it mean to be saved?
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
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
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...
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...
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
