Meaning & Inspiration
"Redeemed" is a short declaration of salvation built around calling on the name of the LORD. The opening lines, "I will call upon the name of the LORD / He'll save me," set the pattern: a personal act of prayer followed by a confident statement that deliverance is on the way. The verse closes with "He'll set me free," which frames salvation as release and not only forgiveness.
The chorus repeats "By His blood I am redeemed," "By His arm I am restored," and "By His nail- pierced hands am free," crediting each part of that freedom to Christ and the cross, with the name of Jesus repeated as the refrain. The closing section states that there is "No other name than the name of Jesus" and "No precious blood than the blood of Jesus," and it ends by naming "the precious lamb of God."
Calling on the Lord's name and redemption through blood resemble language found in Romans 10:13 and Ephesians 1:7, so the lines may be read as drawing on those passages. The brief, repeatable wording suits congregational singing and personal testimony.
