Tuesdays on Repeat: "Redeemed" by Big Daddy Weave

This song has been in my head and heart for a few weeks now!  Such a song of renewal and acceptance.  My friend, regardless of what you have been told about Christ, or what you think you may know of Him, I want to share that He loves you and accepts you as you are.
Are you flawed?  Do you fall short of everyone's expectations - even your own?  Well, do not fear.  He knows all about you and He loves you anyway.  He doesn't want you chained to the guilt and shame of past sins and secrets.  He doesn't want you to carry that heavy burden that has been placed on you... He wants to lighten that load.  Let Him carry you through.  He will make you new.

"Redeemed"
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
