Lord, be my Redeemer.

 Lord, Be My Redeemer

A Reflection on Psalm 19:14, Job 19:25, and 1 Peter 1:18-19

Lord, be my Redeemer—the One who buys me back,

Who breaks the chains of sin, who fills my every lack.

I cannot free myself, I cannot pay the cost,

Without You, I am lost.

I know that my Redeemer lives, and that in the end He will stand on the earth. (Job 19:25)

Redeemer—the One who sets the captive free,

Who takes my guilt and shame and nail them to the tree.

You paid the price I could not pay,

You turned my darkness into day.

Be my Redeemer—from the grip of sin and death,

From the enemy's accusing breath.

Redeem my past, redeem my shame,

Redeem the years the locusts have claimed.

For you know that it was not with perishable things such as silver or gold that you were redeemed... but with the precious blood of Christ, a lamb without blemish or defect. (1 Peter 1:18-19)

Be my Redeemer—in the silence and the storm,

In the valley where I am worn.

Redeem my mind, redeem my soul,

Redeem my heart and make me whole.

I do not come with empty hands,

But with a heart that understands

That redemption is not earned, but given,

A gift from the One who is risen.

Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in Your sight, O Lord, my strength and my Redeemer. (Psalm 19:14)

So I declare it now: You are my Redeemer.

The One who bought me with His blood,

Who lifted me from the mud.

Lord, be my Redeemer—today and always.

I belong to You, and I will praise You all my days.

Amen.
