LYRICS TOUCH HEARTS
When lyrics are sung by a seven-year-old, it is inspirational. The word REDEEMER means a person who redeems someone or something. The BIBLE refers to Jesus Christ as our REDEEMER. He delivered us from sin and to freedom from captivity.
THE JOURNEY BEGINS
Therefore, let our journey through I KNOW MY REDEEMER LIVES lyrics begin.
- I know that my Redeemer lives
- What comfort this sweet sentence gives!
Job 19:25 KJV – [25] For I know [that] my redeemer liveth, and [that] he shall stand at the latter [day] upon the earth:
- He lives who once was dead
- My ever-living Head
- Bless me with his love
- To plead for me above
- My hungry soul to feed
- To bless in time of need
Phl 4:19 KJV – [19] But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.
THANK YOU, LORD, FOR THE BLESSINGS ON ME
KIND, WISE HEAV’NLY FRIEND
Truly, the words KIND (character/nature), WISE (having or showing experience, knowledge, and good judgment), and FRIEND (a person whom one knows and with whom one has a bond of mutual affection) describe our JESUS.
- My kind, wise heav’nly Friend
- Loves me to the end
- And while He lives, I’ll sing
- My Prophet, Priest, and King
- To silence all my tears
- To calm my troubled heart
Rev 21:4 KJV – [4] And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.

POWER LYRICS SUNG BY A POWERFUL LITTLE GIRL
All things considered, as I listened to Claire sing this POWERFUL SONG, I felt her compassion in my heart for the words she sang. Her heart expressed LOVE for GOD through her facial expressions. WOW!!!
As a result of my journey > The Holy Spirit led me to another POWERFUL MOVIE that takes a lost soul to BELIEVE HIS REDEEMER LIVES!!!
AND HE DID IT AGAIN
Given this statement, by now you should know my pattern of revealing the HEART of GOD and HIS LOVE FOR US. And the movie is … CASE FOR CHRIST, a movie based on the personal journey of Lee Strobel to BELIEVE HIS REDEEMER LIVES.
INSPIRATION
Important to realize > CASE FOR CHRIST is based on a TRUE STORY by Lee Strobel. A BOOK transformed into a MOVIE. A POWERFUL MOVIE that takes a man confessing from ATHEISM to REDEEMED.
With this in mind, Lee and his wife are PROCLAIMED ATHEISTS, and they are teaching their daughter, Alison, to be the same. At a restaurant, a piece of candy is lodged in her throat. Not Lee, nor his wife or anyone could help > UNTIL a child of God appears (RN and a Christian) who saved their daughter. She told Leslie; “God directed her to the restaurant that night.” Leslie was overcome with gratitude and it started her journey to CHRIST. Once Leslie became a BELIEVER, it prompted Lee to begin his journey to SAVE her from Christianity.
ATHEISM TO REDEEMED
In CASE FOR CHRIST, Atheism to Redeemed, these clips are worthy of watching. They will take you down your own personal journey to BELIEVING in JESUS.
This video reveals the thoughts of those involved in the making of this movie. Each member of the team’s heart REVEALED THE TRUTH. Powerful testimonials!!!
In other words, for LEE, the BIGGEST WORD he follows is EVIDENCE > the available body of facts or information indicating whether a belief or proposition is true or valuable.
FUNDAMENTAL QUESTIONS THAT NEED ANSWERS
When you start asking important questions:
- What is my purpose?
- Where did I come from?
- What is my purpose?
- Where do I go when I die?
- Did Christ really exist?
- Was His resurrection myth, or not?
Lee was seeking TRUTH from a personal perspective because of his love for his family.
To summarize, this movie touches on LOVE, FAITH, LOSS, DOUBT, and IMPORTANCE OF TRUTH in our lives.
OFFICIAL TRAILER
The Case for Christ Official Trailer
To clarify, I SEE GOD guiding Lee with questions that lead him down the path to the TRUTH. He seeks out EVIDENCE from a Scholar and a Medical Doctor.
NEW TESTAMENT SCHOLAR
The Case For Christ- Lee Strobel confronts Dr. Gary Habermas
To clarify, Gary Robert Habermas is an American historian and New Testament scholar who frequently writes and lectures on the resurrection of Jesus.
- We all BET our lives on something; the question is > WHAT IS IT GOING TO BE?
- A MIRACLE is not needed to prove the RESURRECTION > Jesus was seen by 500 separate people after his resurrection at the SAME TIME.
MEDICAL EVIDENCE
Hence, to prove the medical EVIDENCE, Dr. Metherell claims it is his medical opinion that Jesus Christ died on the cross.
To Lee > I can take you to one of the most impartial sources. Do you trust The Journal of the AMERICAN MEDICAL ASSOCIATION? Lee responds > It is a STELLER, SCIENTIFIC JOURNAL.
On the physical death of Jesus, clearly, the way of the medical evidence indicates Jesus was dead before the wounds to his side were inflicted. Accordingly, interpretation based on the assumption that Jesus did not die on the cross appears to be at odds with modern medical knowledge.
SCHOLAR AND MEDICAL EVIDENCE IS REVEALED
By and large, Lee’s “journey for evidence” from professionals was FOUND, yet doubt was there. The CHURCH, SCHOLARS, AND MEDICAL PROFESSIONS proved JESUS died on the cross.
Jhn 10:10 KJV – [10] The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have [it] more abundantly.
THE ENDING
THE CASE FOR CHRIST – THE ENDING
In conclusion to this powerful movie, Lee is confronted with all the evidence, yet still had UNBELIEF. Then he heard these words from his co-workers …
- Whether you BELIEVE or NOT, it still takes a leap of FAITH.
- STOP BLAMING THE CHURCH AND GOD AND DO YOUR JOB!
- Stack up the EVIDENCE
- Follow the FACTS
- And WRITE THE STORY
- WIN or LOSE
With these words in mind, he was driven back to his BOARD OF EVIDENCE once again. BUT THIS TIME, piece by piece he compared TRUTH with LIES.
In the final analysis, the final screens will touch your heart. As Leslie is praying for LEE as he stands before his BOARDS OF EVIDENCE > FACT by FACT, the TRUTH WINS. Lee’s LAST words to his BOARDS OF EVIDENCE > with tears in his eyes, he confesses …
Alright, GOD, You WIN!
A NEW CREATURE IN CHRIST IS BORN
To conclude, Lee returns home to his wife as a BELIEVER. He reveals his journey to Leslie; how he set out to PROVE his belief in ATHEISM > He felt like he needed TO SAVE HER!!!
To sum up the scene, Lee confesses I BELIEVE. In a word – REDEMPTION. She then opens the WORD to
Jhn 1:12 KJV – [12] But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, [even] to them that believe on his name:
BELIEVE + RECEIVE + BECOME
DOWN ON HIS KNEES he opens his HEART to GOD and accepts JESUS as his LORD and SAVIOR.
IN CLOSING
To summarize this song/movie > OUR REDEEMER LIVES is TRUTH. It has been proven medically and through us! Our lives, our words, and our actions become LIKE JESUS. We are his eyes, ears, arms, and legs. He can be seen and heard through us.
BORN-AGAIN
Consequently, Lee’s BORN-AGAIN spirit prompted him to present his FIRST-PERSON conversion from SKEPTICISM to FAITH story to his boss. His request was denied > his BOSS said the newspaper would LOSE ALL THEIR CREDIBILITY!!!
To summarize, the rejection LED to his writing the BOOK > CASE FOR CHRIST! That decision led him to a new path for his WRITING LIFE. Lee was educated at the University of Missouri (Bachelor of Journalism degree) and Yale Law School (Master of Studies in Law degree).
AS A RESULT OF CONFIRMED EVIDENCE
Lee changed his identification from an Atheist to REDEEMED.
In addition to his CASE FOR CHRIST movie and book, He is a former Professor of Christian Thought at Houston Baptist University and serves as a Teaching Pastor at Woodlands Church in Texas. And, he is a best-selling author and is now appearing in GOD’s NOT DEAD movies as an EXPERT proving GOD IS REAL.
I KNOW MY REDEEMER LIVES and CASE FOR CHRIST tell a powerful story of JESUS. Whether we receive him as a CHILD or ADULT, our heavenly HOME with GOD and JESUS awaits our arrival.
Jhn 11:25-26 KJV – [25] Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: [26] And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this?
God blesses us to be a blessing to others. YouWillWantTo be the hands and feet of Christ to share the TRUTH of the CRUCIFIXION > OUR REDEEMER LIVES.
