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.
