Getty Music with Laura Story have released I Know That My Redeemer Lives.
The song has a number of composers (and a few borrowed lines).
The three verses move in ways that develop the themes of Christ’s redemptive power, daily presence, and future provision.
The lines from the chorus “On heaven’s throne, and in my very soul / I know that my redeemer lives” are nice.
It’s a little late for consideration to use this Easter, but we’ll see how we go later in the year. It’s timely, but not tied specifically to the Easter season.
The lyrics:
1.
I know that my Redeemer lives
What hope this sweet assurance gives
That he who gave his life for me
Arose with healing in his wings
He lives, the tomb is empty still
Redemption’s promise he fulfilled
No condemnation now remains
The stone of death is rolled away
Chorus
My redeemer lives
My redeemer lives
On heaven’s throne, and in my very soul
I know that my redeemer lives
2.
I know that my Redeemer lives
And all my life is bound to his
In realms above, he intercedes
Our sinless Savior, perfect priest
No fear can follow where he guides
His constant presence is my light
No power on earth or heav’n above
Can separate us from his love
Chorus
3.
I know that my redeemer lives
In life and death I trust in him
My soul secure, my future safe
He’ll not forsake me to the grave
He lives and He will not delay
My eyes will wake to brightest day
And in my flesh I’ll see him stand
When Christ in glory comes again
And every eye will see him stand
When Christ in glory comes again
Chorus 2x
On heaven’s throne, and in my very soul
I know that my redeemer lives
