Verse 1 I was wandering in a desert place, No road beneath my feet, With a hungry soul and a fading heart, No shelter, bread, or peace. Then I cried out in the wasteland, And Your mercy found me there, You led me by a steady hand To a city built on prayer. Chorus Let the redeemed say so, Let the rescued lift their song, For the Lord is good forever, And His love keeps holding on. From the storm and from the shadow, From the chains and from the low, He has gathered us in mercy, Let the redeemed say so. Verse 2 I was sitting in the darkness, Bound by iron, worn by shame, Every door I tried was closing, Every hope went up in flame. Then I cried out from the silence, And You shattered every chain, You broke the gates of bronze apart And called me out by name. Chorus Let the redeemed say so, Let the rescued lift their song, For the Lord is good forever, And His love keeps holding on. From the storm and from the shadow, From the chains and from the low, He has gathered us in mercy, Let the redeemed say so. Bridge You calm the sea to a whisper, You turn the night to dawn, You make the desert bloom again, You bring the exile home. So we will thank You for Your goodness, For the wonders You have shown, Every scar becomes a witness: We were lost, but not alone. Final Chorus Let the redeemed say so, Let the rescued lift their song, For the Lord is good forever, And His love keeps holding on. From the east and from the west, Lord, From the highlands and the low, You have gathered us in mercy, Let the redeemed say so. Outro Oh give thanks to the Lord, For His steadfast love endures.
