Songfacts®:

  • This was the first single from contemporary Christian musician Jeremy Camp's fourth album, Beyond Measure.
  • Camp explained in the liner notes of Wow Hits 2008: "'What It Means' was inspired by Romans 12, which says we are called to lay our lives down as a living sacrifice and that being a total act of submission unto the Lord daily, God continues to break me down and show me my need for Him."

  • Nick from Cheonan, KoreaI was hoping to find some information about what inspired Jeremy to write the song "This Man." I know it is about the trial, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. I wondered what scriptures he was looking at when he wrote the song.
