Redeemed—how I love to proclaim it

Thursday 25th October a rainy morning, God spared my daughter and myself life from an accident, on my way to work. Prayer was sent up for me and when I awoke Friday, 26th October. The Lord rest this song on my heart. I owe God my life forever.

I L.O.V.E this song because it reminds me of my days being a sinner and now I have changed into a child of God and now I feel free from the devil and what he has done to me! I pray to all those who haven't turned to God. It's really fun and cool to have a moment with Him!! GOD WILL ALWAYS BE THERE YOU JUST HAVE TO LISTEN!!!!!!!

The blood of Jesus is still redeeming today,"If you have a problem with wrong thoughts, confess you sin before God, for the blood of Christ can purge your conscience. If you have had a sense of condemnation and unrighteusness, it is your day to take hold of the blood of Jesus. If the devil has condemned, harassed, or tormented you, then receive the completed work of the blood of Jesus Christ." (The Life Giving Blood of Jesus Christ - BIlly Joe Daugherty, Victory Christian Center.)

Verse 2 states that the light of His presence with me doth continually dwell. Paul in Ephesians 3:17 prays for the Ephesians that Christ may continually dwell in their hearts. Christ has an ongoing dwelling, and His presense is not just an event in the past.

I love this song because it reminds me of the redemption work that Jesus did on the cross for me. It reminds me that once I was a sinner and not in a right standing with God, but because of His grace, I am now redeemed by the blood of the Lamb and on my way home to be with Him forever; what a wonderful thought!!

This song has been in my head lately and I have enjoyed singing the parts that I can remember.

I like to sing verse 3 like this:

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

Lord, increase my drinking!!

Buried my great granddaddy with this song after he came home from the Civil War...he had requested it at church service the day before he died.
