Redeemed: 17, not 50

I am almost 50. But as I listened to the radio this morning, I realized the "new" me who has been redeemed is really only 17!  That's when I really grasped my new life in Christ. I am redeemed and I'm not the woman I used to be. These are the lyrics from Big Daddy Weave's song, mine today:

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
