" I am redeemed" oh gosh when I feel like all is lost, I read the words to this song and I know it is not!!!!

     Hello to all, yes I am coming to ask your forgiveness again today, I tell you I have had a horrible time trying to get my timeline in order, trying to do so many things at one time all while battling kidney stones and infection and now a good bout with COPD...it is madness here I tell you..LOL.

I want to apologize for being so distant, in no way have I forgotten what this blog is for and why it came into existence, I have just been so overwhelmed...I know, I know that is not a good excuse as God is never overwhelmed with me.

This morning as I do every morning I was listening to my favorite Christian channel on the radio and I realized that when a certain song comes on I always get emotional...I want to share the words with you this morning and then see if you will comment me as to how it affected you...I will also you tube the video of the song here on my blog...enjoy it and know that I may not be posting as I should but that you are always in my prayers and I know God is working through you to touch the hearts of many, allow your light to shine brightly...you never know when you are the perfect light that is needed in an otherwise dark world...Shine ON !!!!!!!!

"Redeemed"

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 it's already been won"

I am redeemed, You set me free

So I'll shake off these heavy chains

Wipe away every stain, now I'm not who I used to be

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

I am redeemed, You set me free

So I'll shake off these heavy chains

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

Wipe away every stain, 'cause I'm not who I used to be

I am redeemed, You set me free

So I'll shake off these heavy chains

Wipe away every stain, yeah, 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
