Redeemer & Charles

This is one of my favorite songs. Appropriate for this time of year.
I used to listen to it all the time, over and over again...

It also was one of Charles' favorites. After being used in his memorial service, I can't help but think of Charles every time I hear it. The best part is that I'll be spending time with Charles again because I know my Redeemer lives. The song still makes me choke up a little bit.

Redeemer
Who taught the sun where to stand in the morning
Who told the ocean you an only come this far?
Who showed the moon where to hide 'til evening
Whose words alone can catch a falling star?

Well I know my Redeemer lives
I know my Redeemer lives
All of creation testify
This life within me cries
I know my Redeemer lives

The very same God that spins things in orbit
He runs to the weary, the worn and the weak
And the same gentle hands that hold me when I'm broken
They conquered death to bring me victory

Now I know my Redeemer lives
I know my Redemer lives
Let all creation testify
Let this life wihtin me cry
I know my Redeemer, He lives

To take away my shame
And He lives forever I'll proclaim
That the payment for my sin
Was the precious life He gave
But now He's alive
And there's a new day
