MY REDEEMER LIVETH
Verse 1
It doesn't matter what I face,
It doesn't matter what comes my way,
Through every storm, through every trial,
My God will hold me all the while.
It doesn't matter what today brings,
I know the joy that tomorrow brings,
Though tears may fall and nights be long,
My hope in Christ will keep me strong.
Chorus
I know my Redeemer liveth,
I know my tomorrow is bright,
The One who holds my life forever
Will lead me from darkness to light.
His thoughts toward me are good, not evil,
His promises will never fail,
No matter what I face tomorrow,
In His unfailing love, I'll prevail.
Verse 2
Before I took my first breath,
You knew my name, You knew my steps,
Before I formed my first words,
You had a plan for me, O Lord.
You knew me in my mother's womb,
You saw my dawn beyond the gloom,
My life is safe within Your hands,
My future rests in Your great plans.
Chorus
I know my Redeemer liveth,
I know my tomorrow is bright,
The One who holds my life forever
Will lead me from darkness to light.
His thoughts toward me are good, not evil,
His promises will never fail,
No matter what I face tomorrow,
In His unfailing love, I'll prevail.
Verse 3
You said, "Remember not the former things,
For I am doing something new,"
The pain of yesterday will fade away,
As I behold the works You do.
You turn my mourning into dancing,
You turn my sorrow into praise,
What once brought tears will tell Your story,
And I will glorify Your name.
Bridge
You know the plans You have for me,
Plans of hope and a destiny,
Even when I cannot see,
I know You're working out for me.
My past won't hold me anymore,
My God is opening a new door,
The former things have passed away,
I'm stepping into a brighter day!
Vamp / Worship Refrain
My Redeemer liveth!
Yes, my Redeemer liveth!
Through the fire, through the rain,
My Redeemer still remains!
My tomorrow is brighter!
Yes, my tomorrow is brighter!
Though the night may last awhile,
Joy is coming with the morning light!
Outro
It doesn't matter what I face,
I know I'm covered by His grace.
It doesn't matter what today brings,
My hope is in the King of kings.
He knew my name before my birth,
His plans will bring me hope on earth.
The former things have passed away,
My Redeemer lives, and I'll be okay!
Final Chorus
I know my Redeemer liveth,
I know my tomorrow is bright,
The One who holds my life forever
Will lead me from darkness to light.
His thoughts toward me are good, not evil,
His promises will never fail,
My Redeemer lives forever!
And in His love, I will prevail!
