We are redeemed. Our lives are reclaimed.
Once we lived in the dark, once we couldn't see what was ahead.
But now we are redeemed, our lives are reclaimed.
Once we were wandering, once we were overwhelmed.
But now we are redeemed, our lives are reclaimed.
Once we were lost, once we were led astray.
But now we are redeemed, our lives are reclaimed.
Once we thought we knew better, once we thought we were trapped.
But now we are redeemed, our lives are reclaimed.
Once we lived in shame, once the weight of it all was too heavy.
But now we are redeemed, our lives are reclaimed.
Once we saw in black and white, once we lived with eyes closed.
But now we are redeemed, our lives are reclaimed.
Now we see in color, eyes wide, sun strong.
Now we walk along confident of the truth.
Now the light guides our way,
And we are set free.
The chains call us back, and we may even see what they have to offer.
But then we remember,
We are redeemed. Our lives are reclaimed.
We were led into the brightness of true joy, true love.
And the voice that leads us holds us close and whispers,
"You weren't redeemed for a bondage like this. Only to be bound to me, singing redemption songs and being filled for something much, much bigger."
And we are led, to something much, much bigger than we could ever imagine. Something beyond our wildest imaginations. A life of ferocity and truth and abundance.
Run to freedom, run and be embraced.
We have redemption, we have freedom, and we shine. We blossom and bring the light wherever we turn.
Because we are redeemed. Our lives are reclaimed.
Thanks be to the source of our redemption.
