God Sent His Son - Hymn with Lyrics

 

1.Praise the Lord, God sent His Son,
Hallelujah!
And salvation’s work was done,
Glory to God!
God Himself became a man,
So that we might live in Him.

That’s why I call on Him,
I give my all to Him.

2.For us He was crucified,
Hallelujah!
For the many, one Man died,
Glory to God!
One grain fell into the earth,
Many grains to bring to birth.

3.He arose in victory,
Hallelujah!
From the grave, triumphantly,
Glory to God!
Now in resurrection He
As the Spirit lives in me.

4.Call on Him from deep within,
Hallelujah!
Just by calling, He comes in,
Glory to God!
Once you call upon His name,
Nevermore you’ll be the same.

We all must call on Him,
We give our all to Him.

The hymn "I Know that My Redeemer Lives" was written by Samuel Medley (1738–1799), an English hymn writer and pastor, and was first published in 1775. The hymn is based on the biblical affirmation of Christ's resurrection and is inspired by the verse from the Book of Job.
Story Behind the Hymn:

Samuel Medley, the author of the hymn, was originally a sailor before he turned to a life of ministry. After experiencing a dramatic conversion during his time at sea, Medley became a preacher and wrote hymns to express his faith. He wrote many hymns throughout his life, but "I Know that My Redeemer Lives" remains one of his most well-known and enduring works.

The hymn is rooted in the Book of Job, specifically Job 19:25:
"For I know that my Redeemer lives, and that in the end he will stand on the earth."

Medley wrote the hymn as an expression of his personal faith in the resurrection of Jesus Christ and the victory over death that comes through Him. This declaration of faith in the living Redeemer was not only a reflection of Medley's theological beliefs but also a deeply personal testimony of his own redemption through Christ.
