Redeemed


Happy Fanny Friday! Here I am playing Redeemed on my Hammond Aurora organ. Watch by clicking here.

Redeemed--how I love to proclaim it!
Redeemed by the blood of the Lamb;
Redeemed through His infinite mercy,
His child, and forever, I am.

Redeemed, redeemed,
Redeemed by the blood of the Lamb;
Redeemed, redeemed,
His child, and forever, I am.

Redeemed and so happy in Jesus,
No language my rapture can tell;
I know that the light of His presence
With me doth continually dwell.

I think of my blessed Redeemer,
I think of Him all the day long;
I sing, for I cannot be silent;
His love is the theme of my song.

I know I shall see in His beauty
The King in whose law I delight;
Who lovingly guardeth my footsteps,
And giveth me songs in the night.

I have a friend who used to call these old 6/8 hymns "skating rink songs." However you feel about it, I challenge anyone to listen to this song and not have it come back several times to remind you of its fantastic message and insanely catchy melody and rhythm. Yea, the version might be slightly influenced by my background as a horse show man, but what's better than a good old Fanny Crosby hymn done "horse show" style? (No answers please)

I look forward to these every week! Have you heard the new Patti Griffin album, "Downtown Church?" It makes me think of you.
Hope y'all have a great weekend!
