"Redemption" by Jars of Clay tells the story of two individuals who find themselves lost in a strange town, on the wrong road, without a common ending in sight. Needing a distraction, one of them suggests that they find redemption. Even though they view their journey as a wrong turn, they soon discover that they have gained so much more through their experiences. As they reach the other border, they look beyond the road they came from and find redemption hidden in the landscape of loss, love, fire, and rain. The song suggests that redemption can be found in unlikely places and through unexpected experiences. Through the eyes of sorrow and rage, the two individuals uncover the drama of redemption, ultimately finding a common ending to their story.
