I will sing of my Redeemer,
And His wondrous love to me;
On the cruel cross He suffered,
From the curse to set me free.
And His wondrous love to me;
On the cruel cross He suffered,
From the curse to set me free.
Sing, oh, sing of my Redeemer,
With His blood He purchased me,
On the cross He sealed my pardon,
Paid the debt, and made me free.
With His blood He purchased me,
On the cross He sealed my pardon,
Paid the debt, and made me free.

I will tell the wondrous story,
How my lost estate to save,
In His boundless love and mercy,
He the ransom freely gave.
How my lost estate to save,
In His boundless love and mercy,
He the ransom freely gave.

I will praise my dear Redeemer,
His triumphant pow’r I’ll tell,
How the victory He giveth
Over sin, and death, and hell.
His triumphant pow’r I’ll tell,
How the victory He giveth
Over sin, and death, and hell.

I will sing of my Redeemer,
And His heav’nly love to me;
He from death to life hath brought me,
Son of God with Him to be.
And His heav’nly love to me;
He from death to life hath brought me,
Son of God with Him to be.

Through the All-inclusive Redemption
In His salvation He has redeemed us from our sinfulness and has terminated us in our sinful constitution. Redemption, forgiveness, justification, and reconciliation are all included in His salvation. We were sinners and enemies toward God. We were sinners not merely by committing sins; we were sinners by constitution ( Rom. 5:19 ; 2 Cor. 5:21 ). We became a constitution of sin and were the totality of sin. Thus, we needed not only to be forgiven but also to be terminated. Christ’s death on the cross did a wonderful job of terminating our sinful constitution and taking away all our sinfulness. Based on such a death we have redemption and forgiveness, and as God’s enemies, we were reconciled to God. Now there is no contradiction between us and God; the situation between us and God has been altogether appeased. God is satisfied with the all-inclusive death of Christ, and this death also has satisfied us. Now we can thank Him for His all-inclusive death that has terminated our sinful constitution and has redeemed us from our sinfulness. Through such a redemption we have been forgiven, and God has justified us and even reconciled us, His enemies, to Himself. In such a situation the problem between us and God has been fully cleared up.

I could not remember the words to this hymn from my childhood. Thank you for the lyrics. Thank you Jesus Messiah for redeeming me!

This song melts my heart.
Reminds me of my early years as a chorister,
Jesus paid my price and set me free.
There’s no measure of his love for me

What a way to start the morning God has allowed us to wake up to! This could be the day our Lord returns 😃

I love this song! I first heard Fernando Ortega singing it on Pandora (a music app) on our way to church and it has become my "heart song." I am memorizing it and I wake up each morning with it ringing in my heart. I hum it throughout the day and it is never far from my lips. It touches my heart as has no other. I will sing of my Redeemer through the ceaseless ages of eternity!
