Lyrics

I am redeemed, O praise the Lord;
My soul from bondage free,
Has found at last a resting place
In Him who died for me.

Refrain

I am redeemed, I am redeemed,
I’ll sing it o’er and o’er;
I am redeemed, O praise the Lord;
Redeemed for­ev­er­more.

I looked, and lo! from Calvary’s cross
A healing fountain streamed;
It cleansed my heart, and now I sing,
Praise God, I am redeemed.

Refrain

The debt is paid, my soul is free,
And by His mighty power,
The blood that washed my sins away
Still cleanseth every hour.

Refrain

All glo­ry be to Je­sus’ name;
I know that He is mine,
For on my heart the Spi­rit seals
His pledge of love divine.
