Skillet - Destiny [Official Audio]

[@klaraleavesley]

The lyrics in the first verse hit me hard. I've made bad decisions and I just can't leave them behind. But I am forgiven. God has forgiven me. My relationships are better. God has saved me. But sometimes those memories come back and make me beat myself up all over again. When I found this song, it hit me hard. What I've done doesn't define me. I can move on. God has used it to grow me and I'm eternally grateful. Thanks you Skillet, your music means the world to me.

[@Eu-id4xv]

Jesus te ama, nunca se esqueça disso! Estarei lembrando de você em minhas orações! Saudações do Brasil! 🇧🇷

[@jennywittmore4233]

Maybe you have to also learn to forgive yourself

[@Influential1blis]

Remember God has forgiven you. So do not forget to get forgive yourself

[@hybridxane]

I know how you feel, having a hard time forgiving yourself. There was a night I fell to a long-struggled-with sin, and i felt devastated. While in that sad state, three verses; Romans 5:20, Romans 8:38-39 and Lamentations 3:22-23; came to mind. I was ignoring them, feeling like i don't get to get off that easy. However, I soon realized, "Satan would never remind me of these verses, and I don't want to accept them right now. The only other option, it must be the Hoky Spirit reminding me of these." So realzing that, who am i to resist God? I accepted His grace. It's still a struggle to accept it, but He always gets through to me somehow. We have an awesome Father

[@YDCFF_]

I feel you. We all have skeletons in our closet. Horrors from my past continue to haunt me, but Jesus is my rock. This album is therapeutic for me. If you know the song Monster, it's me. I'm a Marine vet and live with that monster every day. The thought of letting him out scares me to death. Jesus is all I need!

Skillet - Destiny - Lyrics [Intro: John Cooper, Jen Ledger] Is there a place where I Could leave the world behind And say goodbye to every painful memory Where darkness ain't my destiny? This is my destiny This is my destiny [Verse 1: John Cooper, Jen Ledger] Is this the life that you want? I don't ever wanna feel this way 'Cause this is the life that you got And no one else can ever take your place I can't (I can't) I won't (I won't) Go down this road It leaves me lost (I'm lost) Alone (Alone) How did I get so far from home? [Chorus: John Cooper, Jen Ledger] Is there a place where I Could leave the world behind And say goodbye to every painful memory Where darkness ain't my destiny? I'm running towards the light I'm free of all the rage I thought would never leave This darkness ain't my destiny No, I make my destiny No, I make my destiny This is my destiny [Verse 2: John Cooper, Jen Ledger] Is this the life that you made? It's gettin' hard to tell who I am It's time, it's your life to change Even if you don't think you can I can't (I can't) I won't (I won't) Just lose myself I've got so far (So far) To go (To go) Just show me how to get back home [Chorus: John Cooper with Jen Ledger] Is there a place where I Could leave the world behind And say goodbye to every painful memory Where darkness ain't my destiny? I'm running towards the light I'm free of all the rage I thought would never leave This darkness ain't my destiny No, I make my destiny No, I make my destiny [Bridge: John Cooper, Jen Ledger] Pushing 'til I put the pain away, get away (Get away) Bracing for the weight but it cannot break me (Break me) Living like I'll never be afraid, not afraid (Not afraid) This is my destiny Pushing 'til I put the pain away, get away (Get away) Bracing for the weight but it cannot break me (Break me) Living like I'll never be afraid, not afraid (Not afraid) [Chorus: John Cooper, Jen Ledger, Both] Is there a place where I Could leave the world behind And say goodbye to every painful memory (Memory) Where darkness ain't my destiny? I'm running towards the light I'm free of all the rage I thought would never leave This darkness ain't my destiny No, I make my destiny No, I make my destiny (I'm running towards the light) No, I make my destiny (Leave the past behind) No, I make my destiny This is my destiny

[@Giyuueditss]

thankssssss

[@xelvania1581]

Respectfully, the verse 'Just lose myself' is actually 'Just lose my soul'. If you play it back a few times, you can tell that's the word she's saying. Thanks for posting.

[@BlackSnickersNi]

​@@xelvania1581bro it is saying ''myself'' it's just her voice sounded like she's saying ''my soul''

[@xelvania1581]

@BlackSnickersNi Every other page that hosts this song's lyrics says soul. So either every other page is wrong, or the OP is.

[@BlackSnickersNi]

​@@xelvania1581sorry I'm the one mistaken, yea it did say soul. I'm sorry

Skillet, I don't ever really make these types comments cause I think it's kinda sappy to post them on a KZbin comment section, but... thank you for this song. I really needed to hear it. That's all I'll say.

[@saulsj2717]

10/10! Jen's part in the pre-chorus is extra-hecking-catchy. It makes me long for more of her solo stuff.

[@ei930]

never stop making music. You are the only group that keeps me strong in my hard times.

[@JC-yi5hy]

Love how Jen has the lead on parts of this with John doing the echo

Darkness will never be our identity, it will never be our personality, it will not be our action, it will be our enemy, and always our enemy, but we can overcome it, God the Father gave us the armor to defeat and defend against darkness grasps

I love this song so much! The message, the strong presence, the vocals, the energy, everything!

Just the best band. I love them. Their songs are so necessary now, they give people hope. I feel like John is telling me to stop being afraid and start acting. I love Skillet.

[@jaekerns3203]

Oh Jen Ledger! Your voice is just beautifully angelic!! Skillet is back with music nothing short of FLAWLESS!!!

[@MesozoicLad]

My favorite part about this song is how is has such a sweet(?) message, but feels so powerful at the same time. That is thanks to John, WE LUV U JOHN!!

[@Colby_-ih2yd]

While I like all of their music, and always will (they're my all-time favorite band), this album as a whole is probably their best and most consistently solid since "Comatose". Every song is a home run in my opinion.

[@jasonlovesmusicreacting882]

I think this is the first album in awhile where none of the songs really feel like filler or sequels. Each song feels like it had actual thought put into it, even if a few of the more experimental ones I don't feel quite stuck the landing. I still feel like the band was at least trying something new.

This song is sooooo good!!! The melody gives me chills and the lyrics are so awesome!! And John and Jens voices were perfect! (Like always) I love this album. It did not disappoint which I knew it wouldn’t lol

[@four26]

I remember the day I ran across the line, was freed from all the rage I thought would never leave and darkness was no longer my destiny. Running to Jesus, finding love when all I knew was hate. No more people who wanted what I had or me wanting what they had, using and abusing. He saved, forgave and changed me.

[@AnimaVox_]

So this song is a welcome respite. Much needed during these times where a lot of people are allowing fear to rule them and generally make life unpleasant. It can be demoralizing when the world seems to be collectively losing its mind, but remember there are many of us out there on the same side, keeping our heads down until the day we're called to lift them up. And even _if_ our numbers aren't high, we still have Christ who has never abandoned us nor will ever abandon us. We're never truly alone, that's only if we choose to be.

[@suprchickn7745]
