Lyrics
Our God will reign forever
And all the world will know His name
Everyone together
Sing the song of the redeemed
I know that my redeemer lives
And now I stand on what He did
My Savior, my Savior lives
Everyday a brand new chance to say
Jesus, You are the only way
My Savior, my Savior lives
The King is come from Heaven
And darkness trembles at His name
Victory forever
Is the song of the redeemed, yeah
I know that my redeemer lives
And now I stand on what He did
My Savior, my Savior lives
Everyday a brand new chance to say
Jesus, You are the only way
My Savior, my Savior lives, yeah
Come on sing it out, my Savior lives
My Savior lives, my Savior lives
My Savior lives, my Savior lives, my Savior lives, sing
My Savior lives, my Savior lives, my Savior lives, come on
My Savior lives, my Savior lives, my Savior lives
I know that my redeemer lives
And now I stand on what He did
My Savior, my Savior lives
Everyday a brand new chance to say
Jesus, You are the only way
My Savior, my Savior lives, yeah
I know that my redeemer lives
And now I stand on what He did
My Savior, my Savior lives
Everyday a brand new chance to say
Jesus, You are the only way
My Savior, my Savior lives, Jesus

Meaning & Inspiration
My Savior Lives centers on the resurrection of Christ and the confidence that follows from it. The verses announce God’s enduring reign, invite the whole world to confess his name, and describe redeemed people singing together. Against that broad vision, the chorus becomes personal: the singer stands on what the Redeemer has done and identifies Jesus as the only way. Darkness trembling at the King’s name strengthens the song’s language of victory without shifting attention away from Christ.
The declaration “my redeemer lives” closely echoes Job’s confession, while the song’s repeated celebration also fits the New Testament witness to the risen Christ. Its emphasis is not merely that Jesus once lived, but that his living presence gives lasting hope and a renewed opportunity for praise. Repetition in the later lines functions as congregational affirmation, allowing a simple resurrection claim to carry the song. The result is a direct expression of faith grounded in redemption, victory, and allegiance to Jesus.
