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
that's already been won.
And I am redeemed
You set me free
So I'll shake off these heavy chains
and wipe away every stain
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.
And I am redeemed
You set me free
So I'll shake off these heavy chains
and 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
and wipe away every stain
'cause 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
