[Verse]
I thought I wasn't worth it
He said I was
His grace I couldn't earn it
Thank God that He paid it all
[Verse]
There's a joy that I can't explain
I feel the rush running through my veins
My sins are gone and my debt is paid
And only He could do it
[Chorus]
Hallelu... Hallelujah
I've been redeemed
Hallelu... Hallelujah
I've been redeemed
[Verse]
I'm walking in my purpose
I'm stepping out
Living in my inheritance
I'm a child of God
[Verse]
This is favor not a flex here
I can never take the credit
I'm only boasting in my weakness
Cause only He could do it
[Chorus]
Hallelu... Hallelujah
I've been redeemed
Hallelu... Hallelujah
I've been redeemed
Hallelu... Hallelujah
I've been redeemed
Hallelu... Hallelujah
I've been redeemed
[Bridge]
Who the Son sets free is truly free indeed
All the guilt and the shame know it can't stop me
I've been bought with a price, I have been redeemed
Only He could do it
[Bridge]
Who the Son sets free is truly free indeed
All the guilt and the shame know it can't stop me
I've been bought with a price, I have been redeemed
Only He could do it
[Bridge]
Who the Son sets free is truly free indeed
All the guilt and the shame know it can't stop me
I've been bought with a price, I have been redeemed
Only He could do it
[Outro]
Only He could do it
Only He could do it
He saved my soul, made me whole
Only He could do it
He saved my soul, made me whole
Only He could do it
Only He could do it
Hallelu... Hallelujah
I've been redeemed
Hallelu... Hallelujah
I've been redeemed
Hallelu... Hallelujah
I've been redeemed
Hallelu... Hallelujah
I've been redeemed

Song Meaning
Roosevelt Stewart's "Redeemed" opens with a quiet reversal: the singer once believed he wasn't worth anything, and then a voice countered that claim. From there the song builds into a testimony of unearned grace — a debt settled by someone else, a joy the singer admits he can't explain, described as a rush moving through his veins. The chorus is little more than a repeated "Hallelujah" wrapped around the single declaration "I've been redeemed," and its plainness is the point; the song doesn't dress the moment up. Later verses shift from gratitude to identity, as the singer steps into purpose and calls himself a child of God, then quickly guards against pride by insisting this is favor rather than something to brag about, choosing instead to boast in weakness. The bridge anchors the whole thing in the language of freedom — the Son setting people free, guilt and shame losing their grip, a price already paid. The outro returns to the simplest line of all, "Only He could do it," paired with the confession that he saved my soul and made me whole. It's a song that keeps circling back to the same grateful conclusion rather than moving on to anything new.
