I've been redeemed by my merciful lord
he has released me from this evil
patch of thorns
My heart couldn't take any more of this
ungrateful world
my heart of mine was packed with sin  
Of my painful life
my head and my heart was cold as Ice  
now I have been redeemed with the  
Blood of Christ
I was in tangled in evil strife
but my merciful lord cleansed
me and gave me a new  
start in my life and he gave
me a new meaning
To his love, I've been redeemed
I was set to clean
And I even got to learn God's name
I've started reading my Bible
day and night and taken  
down all that was night right in my life
all my old friends started calling me names
And the on-call of old flames
I called out on God's name
he gave me the power  
To walk to the high Tower of his love
He is my king who could ever
hurt me if God is with me
I have been redeemed I have been washed clean
I don't care what this cold world has to say  
I never want to look back on
what was in my past  
because it has been washed away
by my Lord Jesus  
Who died for me
Who died for his people  
the lord is the only way to live an upright life
He gave me hope
He gave me freedom and thought  
Me who his Father is
God has a name
His name is Jehovah the highest
I've been redeemed by my merciful lord
a wonderful God now the angels above
will cheer with trumpets
horns, while the wicked
below now consider me
abomination the path of righteousness
to better day's  
I've been redeemed by my merciful lord
I give him thanks
I give him praise
for saving me with  
His blood letting me know
his Fathers name I  
Dearly love
God has shown me his steadfast love
and so much compassion
for all he has called' ed his own
this cold world of darkness
don't have anything for me
I have been washed clean.
