(Chorus) I know my redeemer liveth And I know he lives inside of me I know my redeemer liveth Through him I am free And I've got the victory
When I stop and think things over If it had not been for him Oh, I would still be bound I can remember when I couldn't lift my hands Or do my dance But now I'm free I've got the victory Because he lives in me
(Channel) I know my redeemer lives And he lives inside of me The grave couldn't keep him in Hell had no victory He hung and died on a cross For you and for me But on the third day he rose And that's how I know my redeemer lives
Now there's more to the story But I can't tell All I can say is I was on my way to hell Through his precious blood I'm saved Through his love he forgave me And took away all my sins
