2am and All is Well

In the late night hours of no sleep thanks to a certain smiling, cooing, drooly-faced wide-eyed munchkin; the Lord knocked on the door of my heart and reminded me of something He's been asking me to do.

Start a new blog.

So here goes: Redeemed Ramblings.

Fanny Crosby couldn't have more accurately portrayed the words that I hope to share here.

Redeemed, how I love to proclaim it!
Redeemed by the blood of the Lamb;
Redeemed through His infinite mercy,
His child and forever I am.


Redeemed, redeemed,
Redeemed by the blood of the Lamb;
Redeemed, redeemed,
His child and forever I am.

Redeemed, and so happy in Jesus,
No language my rapture can tell;
I know that the light of His presence
With me doth continually dwell.


I think of my blessed Redeemer,
I think of Him all the day long:
I sing, for I cannot be silent;
His love is the theme of my song.


I know I shall see in his beauty
The King in whose way I delight;
Who lovingly gaurdeth my footsteps,
And giveth me songs in the night.

I know there’s a crown that is waiting,
In yonder bright mansion for me,
And soon, with the spirits made perfect,
At home with the Lord I shall be.




This life I live has been one full of my Heavenly Father's redeeming grace; His redemption has been the theme of my life; for me, my husband, our pasts and our lives together; threaded like a colorful tapestry that only the Great Redeemer could orchestrate.

With that thought, my bed is waiting; I can't help but smile that He "gave me this song in the night". I look forward to sharing as my mind rambles on...
