Accompaniment Track MP3: I Will Praise You

This is a split track mp3 from the original Dennis Jernigan recording, A Mystery of Majesty.

I Will Praise You

All that I am, all I will be,

All that I know,

And all that I cannot see,

All that I was is no longer me,

For my Redeemer,

My Lord, set me free!

He rescued me!

I will praise you

For all that you have done for me!

I will praise you

For redeeming and setting me free!

For loving me!

I was so lost and you seemed so far,

But redeeming blood washed me to right where you are!

Now I am your child,

And you are my God!

Your redeeming love

Just leaves me standing in awe

Of who you are!

I S P I R A T I O N

Psalm 89:5-8; Luke 17:15-16

August 14, 1996

The enemy of God often tries to drag me down through deception- through lies. This song was born when I was feeling depressed and really had no reason (at least that I could see) to be so down. Most generally, the enemy attacks my identity and worth. When those lies came, I simply reminded my soul of the truth: Yes, at one point I was unworthy and a sinful wretch, but the redeeming blood of Jesus cleansed me and made me righteous by his righteousness. Yes, at one point in my life I was hopelessly lost, but Good Shepherd searched for me, found me, and rescued my life. I remembered how lost I was and how much Jesus had to pay for me, and my heart was filled with an awesome awareness of his mighty loving presence. When I begin to focus on these truths rather than on the enemy’s lies, gratitude began to fill my heart. As I released the gratitude to Christ, the enemy was forced to flee from the presence of my Redeemer, and this song was born in the process. I simply began doing what I know to do- I approached my Father in gratitude for all he has done. He who has forgiven much, loves much. . .I love you so much, Lord.
