Redeemed, how I love to proclaim it!
Redeemed by the blood of the Lamb;
Redeemed through His infinite mercy,
His child and forever I am.
Refrain
Redeemed, redeemed,
Redeemed by the blood of the Lamb;
Redeemed, redeemed,
His child and forever I am.
-- from "Redeemed" by Fanny Crosby
Today I am praising the Lord for my redemption! I am thrilled to be able to tell the world that because of God's great mercy, I am forever His child.
The second verse says, "I sing for I cannot be silent." I have felt that way lately. The God of the universe is interested in me. How can I keep from singing?
Lord, help me not to be discouraged by the clamor of life that cries out for my attention. Help me to focus on Your precious gift of redemption! Thank you, Jesus.

What a morning!!!
See, what a morning, gloriously bright,
With the dawning of hope in Jerusalem;
Folded the grave-clothes, tomb filled with light,
As the angels announce, "Christ is risen!"
See God's salvation plan,
Wrought in love, borne in pain, paid in sacrifice,
Fulfilled in Christ, the Man,
For He lives: Christ is risen from the dead!
See Mary weeping, "Where is He laid?"
As in sorrow she turns from the empty tomb;
Hears a voice speaking, calling her name;
It's the Master, the Lord raised to life again!
The voice that spans the years,
Speaking life, stirring hope, bringing peace to us,
Will sound till He appears,
For He lives: Christ is risen from the dead!
One with the Father, Ancient of Days,
Through the Spirit who clothes faith with certainty.
Honor and blessing, glory and praise
To the King crowned with pow'r and authority!
And we are raised with Him,
Death is dead, life has won, Christ has conquered;
And we shall reign with Him,
For He lives: Christ is risen from the dead!
- From "See What a Morning" by Keith Getty and Stuart Townend
