I Will Praise My Dear Redeemer

But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. I Corinthians 15:57

I will praise my dear Redeemer,
His triumphant power I’ll tell,
How the victory He giveth
Over sin, and death, and hell.

We have countless things to praise God for - He created our beautiful world, He fulfilled His plan that He promised through the ages - sending Jesus Christ our Redeemer - and we praise Jesus for obediently going to the cross, humbling Himself and willingly taking my place.

One thing that is totally amazing to my finite, human mind is that through His death and resurrection, Jesus gives victory over sin, and death, and hell.

Jesus paid the price for my sin on the cross. After He died and was buried, God brought Him back to life, because He was pleased with Jesus' sacrifice. Death could not hold Him!

This Man, delivered over by the predetermined plan and foreknowledge of God, you nailed to a cross by the hands of godless men and put Him to death. But God raised Him up again, putting an end to the agony of death, since it was impossible for Him to be held in its power. Acts 2:23-24

He has triumphant power because of His resurrection!

...who was declared the Son of God with power by the resurrection from the dead, according to the Spirit of holiness, Jesus Christ our Lord... Romans 1:4

Death no longer has victory over anyone who confesses Jesus as Lord and Savior. Isn't that great news? That is something to sing about! Jesus gives us victory over sin and the law through His death on the cross.

"O death, where is your victory? O death, where is your sting?” The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law; but thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. I Corinthians 15:55-57

I will sing of my Redeemer! And like Paul, I want to know Him and the power of His resurrection so that I, too, may attain to the resurrection from the dead.

...that I may know Him and the power of His resurrection and the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to His death; in order that I may attain to the resurrection from the dead. Philippians 3:10-11

I Will Sing of my Redeemer
Words by Philip Bliss

I will sing of my Redeemer,
And His wondrous love to me;
On the cruel cross He suffered,
From the curse to set me free.

Refrain
Sing, oh sing, of my Redeemer,
With His blood, He purchased me.
On the cross, He sealed my pardon,
Paid the debt, and made me free.

I will tell the wondrous story,
How my lost estate to save,
In His boundless love and mercy,
He the ransom freely gave.

I will praise my dear Redeemer,
His triumphant power I’ll tell,
How the victory He giveth
Over sin, and death, and hell.

I will sing of my Redeemer,
And His heav’nly love to me;
He from death to life hath brought me,
Son of God with Him to be.
