Week 4: Listening to the Son
Listening at the Feet of the Cross
Week 4, Day 6
Today, we are listening through music. Whether or not you know the following hymn, reflect on the words as a promise of truth. For me, this listening exercise was most impactful when I pictured myself singing in front of the empty cross. And don’t forget to proclaim this truth-filled promise to others. Feel free to make notes in and around the blank cross on the next page, as you listen to the Son, our Redeemer.
I Know that My Redeemer Lives, by Fred A. Filmore
I know that my Redeemer lives,
And ever prays for me;
I know eternal life He gives,
From sin and sorrow free.
Chorus
I know, I know that my Redeemer lives,
I know, I know eternal life He gives;
I know, I know that my Redeemer lives.
He wills that I should holy be,
In word, in tho’t, in deed;
Then I His holy face may see,
When from this earth-life freed.
Chorus
I know that unto sinful men
His saving grace is nigh;
I know that He will come again
To take me home on high.
Chorus
I know that over yonder stands
A place prepared for me;
A home, a house not made with hands,
Most wonderful to see.
Chorus
