Some folks read Isaiah 65:17 or Revelation 21:4 and panic like heaven’s a cosmic brain-wipe. Spoiler: it’s not. God wipes away the pain, not the person. This Anthem was born out of that truth — a reminder that your scars don’t define you, your regrets don’t erase you, and your salvation locks down who you really are.

Think of it as a musical Helmet Check: every lyric is a bounce off the wall that says, “I’m still standing, I’m still me, and my identity is secure in Christ.”

So crank it up, soldier — this is “Fully Me, Finally Free.”

(Lyrics are available on the Faithfully Thinking: Out Loud Podcast here)
