God of The Redeemed - Bethel Music (Jeremy Riddle)

It's rising, it's rsising, the song of hope from us set free

Our chord chart at church for this song has a typo. It's not an egregious mistake or anything. You probably didn't even notice it above. I don't know how many times I led the song before I noticed it. But one morning, years ago now, during sound check someone actually pronounced it the way it's spelled as "it's rising, resizing, the song of hope from us set free"... And we all laughed, and we went on with rehearsal.

Every time since then, though, I see the line and laugh. 

But this morning... as I was listening to the song to prepare to lead it again this weekend, I got thinking... What God has done for us does resize our praise. Our praise is both rising and resizing. We belong to the father. We are orphans no longer. 

How that resizes my praise!


We belong to You Father
Love has come, we're orphans no longer
Brought into Your light and freedom
By the blood and the mercy of Jesus

It's rising, it's rising, the song of hope
From us set free
It's rising, it's rising, it's rising up
Hallelujah to You God of the redeemed

Hallelujah, You've opened blinded eyes to see
We will praise You
You are the everlasting light
Hallelujah to You God of the redeemed

We belong to You Father
Living for Your glory and honor
Here on earth, just as in heaven
We usher in the reign of Your Kingdom
