"Redeemed"
The word redeemed implies the idea of a slave standing on the trader's auction block being offered to the highest bidder. At last the price is paid by a compassionate new owner, who then gives the slave his unconditional freedom. But the freed slave, out of gratitude to his new owner, offers himself as a loving bond servant for life to his redeemer.This popular gospel song by Fanny Crosby first appeared with William Kirkpatrick's jubilant tune in the hymnal Songs of Redeeming Love, published in 1882. It is another of the more than 8,000 hymns by the blind American poetess, Fanny Jane Crosby, the most important writer of gospel hymn texts in American history.
Redeemed--how I love to proclaim it!
Redeemed by the blood of the Lamb;
redeemed thruHis infinite mercy--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 law I delight,
who lovingly guardeth my footsteps and giveth me songs in the night.
Redeemed, redeemed, redeemed by the blood of the Lamb;
Redeemed, redeemed, His child, and forever, I am.

"How Can I keep from Singing"
There is an endless song echoes in my soul
I hear the music ring and though the storms may come
I am holding on to the rock I cling
How can I keep from singing Your praise
How can I ever say enough How amazing is Your love
How can I keep from shouting Your name I know I am loved by the King
And it makes my heart want to sing
Chris Tomlin joined Ed Cash and Matt Redman to write this song. The song is on the album "See the Morning". This song anchors the theme of hope found on the album. "How Can I Keep From Singing," is a rendition of the 1860 hymn by Robert Lowry. "How Can I Keep From Singing?" is listed in some hymnals by the opening line "My Life Flows On". The original composition has now entered into the public domain. The song is frequently cited incorrectly as a traditional Quaker hymn. Chris reworked the original text and crafted a song that could be sung to God during the difficult times.

"I will sing of My Redeemer"
Philip Paul Bliss (1838-1876), was a well known teacher, evangelist and soloist. He wrote many hymns, including Almost Persuaded, Let the Lower Lights Be Burning, and Wonderful Words of Life. He also composed the melody for Horatio Spafford's It Is Well with My Soul. Bliss and his wife Lucy traveled extensively, spreading the Gospel in song. In December, 1876, they were taking a much needed break; spending Christmas Holidays with Bliss' parents, in Pennsylvania. On the 28th, after receiving a request by telegram from D.L. Moody, the couple left their two children with grandparents and traveled by train to attend an evangelistic meeting in Chicago. While ministering at the meeting, Bliss spoke these words to the congregation: I may not pass this way again, after which he sang, I'm Going Home Tomorrow. His words and song would prove to be prophetic.On the 29th of December, 1876, Bliss and his wife boarded a train back to Pennsylvania. The winter snow and ice made for dangerous travel. As their train was crossing over a river in Ashtabula, Ohio, the bridge suddenly gave way and all the carriages fell into the freezing waters below. Bliss escaped through a window, only to find that Lucy had somehow been left behind in the burning wreckage. Although he was advised against it, Bliss headed back into the fire, saying: "If I cannot save her, I will perish with her." The young couple did not survive.Of the 160 passengers, only 68 survived the disaster which took the lives of Lucy and Philip Bliss. The few remains retrieved from the accident site were placed in a common grave marked by a monument, in the Ashtabula Cemetery. Another monument was erected in Pennsylvania, in memory of Philip and Lucy Bliss. Among Bliss' belongings were the lyrics to I Will Sing of My Redeemer. In 1877, the hymn was set to music by composer and evangelist James McGranahan (1840 -1907), whose works included There Shall Be Showers of Blessing. That same year, singer and musician George Cole Stebbins (1846-1945), who composed many hymns, including Saved by Grace and Take Time To be Holy, made a recording of I Will Sing of My Redeemer - one of the first songs ever to be recorded on Thomas Edison's new invention, the phonograph.
I will sing of my Redeemer,
And His wondrous love to me;
On the cruel cross He suffered, From the curse to set me free.
Sing, oh sing, of my Redeemer,
With His blood, He purchased me.
On the cross, He sealed my pardon, Paid the debt, and made me free.
I will tell the wondrous story,
How my lost estate to save,
In His boundless love and mercy, He the ransom freely gave.
I will praise my dear Redeemer,
His triumphant power I'll tell,
How the victory He giveth Over sin, and death, and hell.
I will sing of my Redeemer,
And His heav'nly love to me;
He from death to life hath brought me,Son of God with Him to be.

“Enough”
This worship song is by Chris Tomlin. Chris is instrumental in shaping the language for this present body of worshippers. Chris wrote this song along with Louie Giglio. Louie gave Chris a note right before one of their passion tours. The note simply said:
God is enough, He is really more than enough.
Chris took the rough words and crafted the song around that one phrase. Chris showed up in Louie’s kitchen played it for Louie and it was then that Louie realized that the song was really birthed out of the heart of God.

"Great and Mighty"
This song was written by Caedman's call. Caedmon's Call is a CCM band that fuses folk-rock with adult alternative rock influences. Cliff Young (vocals, rhythm guitar), Derek Webb (lead guitar, vocals), Danielle Glenn (vocals), Aric Nitzberg (bass), Todd Bragg (drums), Randy Holsapple (organ), and Garett Buell (percussion) formed the Houston, TX-based band at Texas Christian University in the summer of 1992. The group originally included Aaron Tate, who left the band shortly after its formation, but he continued to write songs with Young. After spending some time playing locally, Caedmon's Call began touring college campuses across the South, steadily building up a dedicated following of young Gen-X singles.
Hold my heart, O God, keep me ever in Your will
There is joy within Your presence here and now
But better will is the the day that is to come
When Your full glory is revealed I have long endured the trials of the age
But I will say You are great and mighty God
Robed in majesty You set us apart, You set us free
When You captured out heartsYou are great and mighty
So in You I will rejoice, make my life an offering
I'm enraptured by the mercies of my King
And I will sing I will sing Your praise,
I will sing Your praise O name above all names
I will count the days until I see Your face I will evermore proclaim

"Wholly Yours"
David Crowders' mother called him one day with a song idea. David's mother serves as a social worker specifically working with child placement. His thought was "sure mom and I have some thoughts on childcare placement." She was struck by the use of the phrase I am wholly yours. She visited with David about the double meaning of wholly and holy. David filed the idea away and after spending some time the following came forth:I am full of earth You are heaven’s worthI am stained with dirt, prone to depravityYou are everything that is bright and cleanThe antonym of me You are divinityBut a certain sign of grace is this From a broken earth flowers come upPushing through the dirtYou are holy, holy, holy All heaven cries “Holy, holy God”You are holy, holy, holyI wanna be holy like You are

"Lead me to the Cross"
Savior I come Quiet my soul remember Redemptions hill Where Your blood was spilled
For my ransom Everything I once held dear I count it all as lost
Lead me to the cross Where Your love poured out Bring me to my knees Lord I lay me down
Rid me of myself I belong to You Lead me, lead me to the cross
You were as I Tempted and trialed You are The word became flesh
Bore my sin and death Now you're risen
To your heart To your heart Lead me to your heart Lead me to your heart

"Beautiful"
I see Your face in every sunrise
The colors of the morning are inside Your eyes
The world awakens in the light of the day
I look up to the sky and say You’re beautiful
This song was written by Phil Wickham. In a world where swagger usually triumphs over substance, it’s refreshing when a young singer/songwriter arrives on the scene with something to say. With the multi-faceted sound of a much older soul and shimmering melodies that match the intensity of his heartfelt lyrics, 21-year-old Phil Wickham’s self-titled debut can’t help but stand out in a crowd of cookie-cutter pop and angst-fueled rock. And it’s his personal journey of faith expressed in the songs that really makes the difference.Even though singer/songwriter Phil Wickham grew up in a devout Christian home, there came a point early in his life when he knew his faith needed to become his own. He no longer wanted to coast on his parents’ coattails or go to church simply because that’s what he was supposed to do. He wanted something real, that personal friendship with Jesus. And that crucial realization, combined with moving to a new city while he was in junior high, paved the way for Phil to pick up a guitar and start writing songs about his growing faith.
