Redeemed!

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.
