When my heart was black with sin
And I had no peace within
I didn't know that Jesus lives today
I was deep in the miry clay
Then Jesus set me free one day
I know, my Redeemer lives today

I know, I know my Redeemer lives today
I know, I know, no matter what men may say
For Jesus cleansed my soul from sin
Made me pure and whole within
I know, I know, my Redeemer lives today

Now there is peace within my heart
From now on I'll do my part
I know that Jesus lives today
I know he left this world of sin
But soon He's coming back again
I know, I know, my Redeemer lives today

* Refrain
