"Praise Him in Song"

"I Know that My Redeemer Lives"/"My Redeemer Lives"

How much truth can come through hymns and praise songs!  And the truth is unchanging.

In the 1700's, Samuel Medley wrote, "I Know that My Redeemer Lives.  I've seen eight verses to this hymn, and counted 31 times that "lives" is said.

Moving forward to contemporary times,  we have "My Redeemer Lives" by Reuben Morgan of Hillsong.  It is a shorter song, but the word "lives" is repeated 28 times.  In both cases, it was a rough count.

Music has a way of engraving words on our heart.  Colossians 3:16 in the Bible says, "Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your heart to the Lord."
