I
I was a slave in a foreign land
So very far from the Father's loving hand
He rescued me one glorious day
He brought me out, paid a debt I could not pay
Chorus
I am redeemed. I am redeemed.
Jesus loosed the chains of sin and set me free.
I am redeemed. I am redeemed.
Jesus loosed the chains of sin and set me free.
II
Still I live in a foreign land,
But now I'm free according to redemption's plan.
Soon I'll join the robed in white, the redeemed.
We'll sing a song holy angels cannot sing.
Chorus
I am redeemed. I am redeemed.
Jesus loosed the chains of sin and set me free.
I am redeemed. I am redeemed.
Jesus loosed the chains of sin and set me free.
(recitation)
Some glorious morning they will come from all nations, from every generation. Side by side, they will march into the celestial city of Jehovah. And in perfect harmony, they will begin humming a new song. A song composed by God, arranged for His children. As the saved by grace approach the land of their dreams, the host of heaven will step aside. Even the angels will be silent. For they cannot sing this new song. For it is a song reserved for voices who once cried out for the Redeemer. Those washed in the blood of the Lamb!
Chorus
I am redeemed by love divine.
Glory glory Christ is mine, He's mine.
All to Him I now resign.
Jesus loosed the chains of sin and set me free.
Jesus loosed the chains of sin and set me free.
Christ set me free
I am redeemed.
