MP3: Redeemer!

Redeemer!
Words & Music: Dennis Jernigan
June 19, 2013

This song came as I prepared for our first
Inner Healing Conference in June of 2013.
Many factors came together to bring this
song about, once again revealing the depth
of God’s ability to help us hear and write
down what will help us cry out to Him. I think
a lot about shame and about how much
God has delivered me from said shame.
Because I hear so many stories from others
in bondage to shame, I want to help people
understand how Christ overcame shame for
us...but to do that we must understand the
difference between guilt and shame. As I
took part in a conference with Lisa Harper
earlier this year, she gave a wonderful
definition and distinction of the two:
“Guilt is the realization that I have done something
wrong. Shame is the belief that i am
something wrong.”
As the Holy Spirit directed me to invite my
daughter-in-law, Dani, to speak at the
conference, she told me she would like to
talk about suffering in one session...and
shame in another! I knew God was up to something
when I heard her heart’s desire.
The week of the conference, I gathered the
entire team together to pray at my house.
After the prayer time, Dean Briggs told me the
Lord had given him something for me to
meditate on. He said to think on these words:
Broken once.
Broken no more.
I am the one You were broken for.
I could not stop thinking about those words -
even through the night. Waking up the
next morning and going to visit my wife in the
hospital (she had broken her leg the very
week of the conference), I found myself thinking
about those words all day long...and
then began to think about them in relation to
how Father has dealt with my shame.
Wednesday evenings Melinda and I host a
home group for worship and ministry. As
I went to my studio to prepare for that time,
the Lord began to pour out this song. I
received the first verse and chorus ten minutes
before we began and introduced the
song that night. We knew it was special in
that moment. Verse two came the next day -
the first day of the conference.
May this song live beyond my lifetime and
carry many right to the feet of Jesus...

As for me, I know that my Redeemer lives,
And at the last He will take His stand on the earth.
Job 19:25 NASB

Verse
Broken once
Broken no more
I am the one You were broken for
Broken body
Blood flowing down
Once lost but now I'm found
Bread of Life
Broken for me
Broken to fill me, make me complete
Living Water
Love's cleansing Stream
Washed me,
Left me redeemed

Chorus
Redeemer!
My Redeemer,
With redeeming love flood my soul!
Redeemer!
Gave Your life, Redeemer!
Broken to make me whole!
Broken to make me whole!

Verse
Once in shame
Shameful no more
I am the one that You bore shame for
Once unworthy, I realize
Still I was worth Your life
Crown of thorns
Piercing Your brow
Ancient of Days somehow here and now
Wounded Healer
Cleanser of sin
Savior Who rose again!

Chorus
Redeemer!
My Redeemer,
With redeeming love flood my soul!
Redeemer!
Gave Your life, Redeemer!
Broken to make me whole!
Broken to make me whole!

Verse
Broken once
Broken no more
I am the one You were broken for
Broken body
Blood flowing down
Once lost but now I'm found
