Song : In The Family
Artist: Rivers & Robots
Album: All Things New
I have been redeemed
I’ve been set free
Pulled from the sea
And You came
And brought me in
Defeated my sin
And called me Your friend
Now I’m alive in You God
I’m in the family now
I’m satisfied in You God
Your love is everything
You’ve broken every chain
I’m made alive again
And I’m living for Your glory
No longer slave to sin and death
You stepped right down into my mess
He ransomed me and paid my debts
And clothed me in His righteousness
My sin does not belong to me
The King of Love has set me free
He’s taken off my filthy rags
And brought me in the family
