Redeemed

This song was sent to Shawn and I and I really like it. It's by "Big Daddy Weave" and it's called Redeemed. Most people probably wouldn't like the style of the song but it had great words. Here are the words: 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 that's already been won" Chorus I am redeemed you set me free so I will shake off these heavy chains wipe away every stain now I am 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 your not done with me yet I am redeemed you set me free so I will shake off these heavy chains wipe away every stain now I am not who I used to be I am redeemed 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 will shake off these heavy chains wipe away every stain now I'm not who I used to be I am redeemed you set me free so I will shake off these heavy chains wipe away every stain now 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 I thought it was a good song. We can all find ourselves in a place of sin. Sometimes it's hard to get out of the sin we are in. We are scared, or ashamed, or proud, and so many other things. But we don't have to stay in sin. God died for us so we could be redeemed. It was a good reminder for me that I don't have to keep doing the things that I know are sinful that I can change and God will help me. Ape
