In response to the confession, singer of Big Daddy Weave, Mike Weaver, released the following statement:
"We are continually amazed at how God has used this song. The moment we started singing 'Redeemed, stories began to pour in of God's grace. But as a band, we have nothing to do with the stories we hear about the song, it's only Jesus. Only He can use a song in this way. We're so thankful for all God continues to do."
