Have you ever just wanted a total makeover? When we get saved that is exactly what happens. In the spirit, the old "man" is rendered dead and the new "man" is alive to Christ. "Redefine Me" can be understood in both the context of initial salvation and in the constant renewing of our mind to the ways of God.
It is by His grace that we are saved, not by the works of our hands. We come to salvation by His grace and mercy, not because we have cleansed ourselves and begged Him to save us. As Christ's love pours into our lives and we understand that we simply "are" because of His grace and mercy, we are then redefined. We begin to understand the significance of His hand in our redemption.
"Redefine Me" is about coming to that understanding that we "are" because of who He is. When we grasp that simple truth we realize that He is the God of all, in control of all, unmoved by any person or thing, and able to extend Himself to even the worst of sinners. As we surrender more and more of our lives to His will, we are continuing to redefine how we see ourselves and the role the Lord plays in our lives. May we find that we are constantly changing our definition to closer match that of the Lord's.
"I give you control and I surrender, to Your will. . ."

REDEFINE ME
Redefine me in Your grace
Let Your love come down
With Your presence fill this place
I need Your touch
Your hand of mercy is upon me
Guide me, steer me, redirect me
Lead me on into Your unknown
I surrender
I give You control and I surrender
To Your will
