Redemption

Redemption-Greek word relating to this term is exagorazo. Redemption always involves going from something to something else. In this case it is Christ freeing us from the bondage of the law to freedom of a new life in him.



I'm Tired I'm worn
My heart is heavy
From the work it takes to keep on breathing
I've made mistakes
I've let my hope fail
My soul feels crushed by the weight of this world
And I know that you can give me rest
So I cry out with all that I have left

Let me see redemption win
Let me know the struggle ends
That you can mend a heart that's frail and torn
I wanna know the sun can rise from the ashes of a broken life
And all that's dead inside can be reborn
Cause I'm worn

I know I need to lift my eyes up
But im too weak
Life just won't let up
And I know that you can give me rest
So I cry out with all that I have left

Let me see redemption win
Let me know the struggle ends
That you can mend a heart that's frail and torn
I wanna know the sun can rise from the ashes of a broken life
And all that's dead inside can be reborn
Cause I'm worn
My prayers are wearing thin
And I'm worn
Even before the day begins
I'm worn
I've lost my will to fight
I'm worn
Heaven come and flood my eyes

Let me see redemption win
Let me know the struggle ends
That you can mend a heart that's frail and torn
I wanna know the sun can rise from the ashes of a broken life
And all that's dead inside can be reborn
Cause all that's dead inside will be reborn

Though I'm worn
Yeah I'm worn

How many times?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ylnx0NA9X4

Cry out to HIM, Listen to HIM, BREATH HIM every second!
Have a great day.  Lord help me to live and do life well and not wait for "it" to pass.  Whatever "it" is at the moment.  This song is my song.  It is my cry and I am owning it today!



Well, everybody's got a story to tell
And everybody's got a wound to be healed
I want to believe there's beauty here
'Cause oh I get so tired of holding on
I can't let go, I can't move on
I want to believe there's meaning here

Chorus:
How many times have you heard me cry out
"God please take this"?
How many times have you given me strength to
Just keep breathing?
Oh, I need you
God, I need you now.

Standing on a road I didn't plan
Wondering how I got to where I am
I'm trying to hear that still small voice
I'm trying to hear above the noise

Chorus:
How many times have you heard me cry out
"God please take this"?
How many times have you given me strength to
Just keep breathing?
Oh, I need you
God, I need you now.


Oh I walk, Oh I walk through the shadows
And I, I am so afraid
Please stay, please stay right beside me
With every single step I take

How many times have you heard me cry out?
And how many times have you given me strength?

Chorus:
How many times have you heard me cry out
"God please take this"?
How many times have you given me strength to
Just keep breathing?
Oh, I need you
God, I need you now.


I need you now
Oh, I need you
God, I need you now
I need you now
I need you now
