I know You had me on Your mind
When You climbed up on that hill
For You saw me with eternal eyes
While I was yet in sin
Redeemer Saviour Friend
Every stripe upon Your battered back
Every thorn that pierced Your brow
And every nail drove deep through guiltless hands
Said that Your love knows no end
Redeemer Saviour Friend
Redeemer redeem my heart again
Saviour come and shelter me from sin
You’re familiar with my weakness
Devoted to the end
Redeemer Saviour Friend
So the grace You pour upon my life
Will return to You in praise
And I’ll gladly lay down all my crowns
For the name by which I’m saved
Redeemer Saviour Friend
