Lyrics

there’s wonder workin’
power in the
blood of jesus

 

i’m so glad to say that
from sin he’s freed us
can’t be bought by
wealth or fame

 

it only comes
through jesus name
there’s victory
in each trying hour

 

through faith in
his mighty power

 

let the redeemed
let the
redeemed

 

he brought us
from the
chains of bondage

 

into the land
of promise
fed us with the
heavenly manna

 

filled our soul with
joy and gladness
been to the river and
i’ve been baptized

 

felt the fire touch
me and i’m satisfied

 

redeemed
let the redeemed
been to the river and
i’ve been baptized

 

felt the fire touch
me and i’m satisfied
redeemed
redeemed

 

redeemed

 

if you have been
redeemed from
the hands of
the enemy

 

if you really know
that he’s washed
you white as snow

 

if you know what
it’s really like
to have a song in
your darkest night

 

then lift up your
voice in one accord
let praises ring
unto the lord

 

let the redeemed
let the redeemed
brought us from the
chains of bondage

 

into the land
of promise
fed us with the
heavenly manna

 

filled our soul with
joy and gladness
been to the river and
i’ve been baptized

 

felt the fire touch
me and i’m satisfied
redeemed

oh let the redeemed
been to the river and
i’ve been baptized

 

felt the fire touch
me and i’m satisfied
redeemed

 

redeemed
redeemed

 

brought us from the
chains of bondage
into the land
of promise

 

fed us with the
heavenly manna
filled our soul with
joy and gladness

 

been to the river and i’ve
been baptized
felt the fire touch
me and i’m satisfied

 

redeemed

 

oh let the redeemed
been to the river and
i’ve been baptized

 

felt the fire touch
me and i’m satisfied
redeemed
redeemed

 

redeemed

 

been to the river and i’ve
been baptized
felt the fire touch
me and i’m satisfied

 

redeemed
redeemed
redeemed

 

oh let the redeemed
redeemed
redeemed
