Lyrics
Sing, oh, sing of my Redeemer,
With His blood He purchased me,
On the cross He sealed my pardon,
Paid the debt, and made me free.
I will sing of my Redeemer,
And His wondrous love to me;
On the cruel cross He suffered,
From the curse to set me free.
I will tell the wondrous story,
How my lost estate to save,
In His boundless love and mercy,
He the ransom freely gave.
Sing, oh, sing of my Redeemer,
With His blood He purchased me,
On the cross He sealed my pardon,
Paid the debt, and made me free.
I will praise my dear Redeemer,
His triumphant pow’r I’ll tell,
How the victory He giveth
Over sin, and death, and hell.
Interlude:
He lives (He lives), He lives (He lives), Christ Jesus lives today
He walks with me and talks with me
Along life's narrow way
He lives (He lives), He lives (He lives), Salvation to impart
You ask me how I know He lives?
He lives within my heart
Sing, oh, sing of my Redeemer,
With His blood He purchased me,
On the cross He sealed my pardon,
Paid the debt, and made me free.

Meaning & Inspiration
Fountainview Academy’s “My Redeemer” centers on Christ’s saving work and the freedom secured through the cross. The recurring refrain describes redemption in the language of purchase, pardon, and a debt fully paid. Its verses move from personal gratitude to public praise, presenting divine love and mercy as the answer to sin, death, and condemnation. The added interlude about the living Christ extends that confession from Calvary to his continuing presence with the believer.
The hymn’s images closely echo New Testament teaching about redemption through Christ’s blood and the cancellation of the record of debt. Its declaration of victory over sin, death, and hell also fits the biblical promise that death is defeated through Jesus Christ. Rather than treating salvation as an abstract idea, the song frames it as a reason to sing, tell the story, and praise the Redeemer. The result is a clear testimony of pardon, freedom, and confidence in the risen Christ.
