My lips will shout for joy, when I sing praise to You—I, whom You have redeemed.
Psalm 71:23

I have a song I love to sing,
Since I have been redeemed,
Of my Redeemer, Savior king,
Since I have been redeemed.
Refrain
Since I have been redeemed,
Since I have been redeemed,
I will glory in His name,
Since I have been redeemed,
I will glory in the Savior’s name.
I have a Christ who satisfies
Since I have been redeemed,
To do His will my highest prize,
Since I have been redeemed.
Refrain
I have a witness bright and clear,
Since I have been redeemed,
Dispelling every doubt and fear,
Since I have been redeemed.
Refrain
I have a home prepared for me,
Since I have been redeemed,
Where I shall dwell eternally,
Since I have been redeemed.
Refrain
I have a joy I can’t express,
Since I have been redeemed,
All through His blood and righteousness,
Since I have been redeemed.
