Redeemed

Sin.

Its a word I hate.

But its something that I do daily.

Its a battle.  A DAILY battle.

A battle that I try to fight on my own.

But its a fight that has already been fought FOR me.

And the fight was WON!  Oh Praise GOD He has set me FREE!   

This song has touched my heart in ways that cannot be explained in words.  It is a reminder to me that I REDEEMED.  My Father has already set me FREE!  I can shake of the shackles of sin and I can LIVE.  When I hear this song, I give in and let the tears stream down my face as I echo the line: 

Then You look at this prisoner and say to me 
"son stop fighting a fight it's already been won"
 I am redeemed, You set me free

Oh, I am so unworthy of His grace, but He gave it.  He fought my fight, and set me FREE. 

Big Daddy Weave - "Redeemed"

 Seems like all I could see was the struggle
Haunted by ghosts that lived in my past
Bound up in shackles of all my failures
Wondering how long is this gonna last
Then You look at this prisoner and say to me "son
Stop fighting a fight it's already been won"
I am redeemed, You set me free
So I'll shake off these heavy chains
Wipe away every stain, now I'm not who I used to be
I am redeemed, I'm redeemed
All my life I have been called unworthy
Named by the voice of my shame and regret
But when I hear You whisper, "Child lift up your head"
I remember, oh God, You're not done with me yet

I am redeemed, You set me free
So I'll shake off these heavy chains
Wipe away every stain, now I'm not who I used to be

Because I don't have to be the old man inside of me
'Cause his day is long dead and gone
Because I've got a new name, a new life, I'm not the same
And a hope that will carry me home

I am redeemed, You set me free
So I'll shake off these heavy chains
Wipe away every stain, 'cause I'm not who I used to be

I am redeemed, You set me free
So I'll shake off these heavy chains
Wipe every stain, yeah, I'm not who I used to be
Oh, God, I'm not who I used to be
Jesus, I'm not who I used to be
'Cause I am redeemed
Thank God, redeemed
