Redeemed

I’ve heard it said

That I’ve made friends with my demons

I’ve heard it said

That I’m to chained to be set free

I’ve heard it said

That what he did was for another

I’ve heard it said

That God could never want someone like me

Oh, but the blood of Jesus

When it ran down the cross of Calvary

That blood was for the broken,

the down and out

and things unspoken

By that blood we stand redeemed

I’ve heard it said

That I won’t darken that door

I’ve heard it said

He’s not a god that I believe

I’ve heard it said

I will never follow him

I’ve heard it said

I can’t serve a god who isn’t serving me

Oh, but the blood of Jesus

When it ran down the cross of Calvary

That blood was for the broken,

the down and out

and things unspoken

By that blood we stand redeemed

Sometimes it hard to hear a voice that whispers

We’d rather have a thunder clap

or trumpet sound

Make it clearer, make it louder

So I don’t have to be a doubter

How can I trust a god who bleeds like me?

Oh, but the blood of Jesus

Was never just the blood that we all bleed

It was the blood that fixed the broken,

And gave a voice to things unspoken

It’s only by that blood that we stand redeemed
