• Stop fighting a fight that's already been won...

  My lips shall greatly rejoice when I sing unto Thee,
  and my soul, which Thou hast redeemed....  Psalm 71:23

  Let the redeemed of the Lord say so, whom He hath redeemed from the hand of the enemy.....  Psalm 107:2

  "Redeemed" by Big Daddy Weave

  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 it's already been won"
  
  I am redeemed, You set me free
  So I'll shake off these heavy chains
  Wipe away every stain, now I'm 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, You're not done with me yet
  
  I am redeemed, You set me free
  So I'll shake off these heavy chains
  Wipe away every stain, now I'm not who I used to be
  
  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'll shake off these heavy chains
  Wipe away every stain, 'cause I'm not who I used to be
  
  I am redeemed, You set me free
  So I'll shake off these heavy chains
  Wipe away every stain, yeah, 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 thank God too!!
