I know my Redeemer lives

Every now and then, something touches our heart and soul so profoundly we just know we have to shout it out and tell someone, anyone about it.  That was how I felt when I viewed this amazing video clip this evening.  Thanks Angeline, for sharing it … I just had to do the same and share it here too, because it really is too good not to.  You’ll see what I mean…

Here’s the short story behind this inspiring video:

A son says to his father: “Dad, would you be willingly to run a marathon with me?”
The father, despite his age and a heart disease, said “YES”.
And so they ran that marathon, together.

The son asks: “Dad, can you run another marathon with me?”
Again father said “YES”.
So they ran another marathon, together.

One day the son asks his father: “Dad would please do the Iron Man with me?”
Now just in case you wouldn’t know, The Iron Man is the toughest triathlon
in existence;
4km swimming, then 180 km by bike, and finally another 42 km running, in
one stroke.

Again father said “YES”

Who taught the sun where to stand in the morning?
And who told the ocean you can only come this far?
And who showed the moon where to hide till evening?
Whose words alone can catch a falling star?

Chorus:
Well I know my Redeemer lives
I know my Redeemer lives
All of creation testifies
This life within me cries
I know my Redeemer lives

The very same God
Who spins things in orbit
Runs to the weary, the worn and the weak
And the same gentle hands that hold me when I’m broken
They conquered death to bring the victory

Now I know, my Redeemer lives
I know my Redeemer lives
Let all creation testify
This life within me cries
I know
My Redeemer

He lives
To take away my shame
He lives
Forever I’ll proclaim
That the payment for my sins
Was the precious life He gave
But now He’s alive and
There’s an empty
Grave!

And I know
My Redeemer lives
He lives
I know
My Redeemer lives
Let all creation testify
Let this life within me cry
I know my Redeemer lives

Let all creation testify
Let this life within me cry
I know my Redeemer lives

I know
My Redeemer lives
I know my Redeemer lives
I know my Redeemer lives

He lives!

    Oh girl,
    don’t worry about me feeling negative about ‘taking this video’ and post it on your site….’cos I don’t mind a teeny weeny bit! *smile*

    this is just too inspiring, love too great, far beyond any wisdom can comprehend….. to be not shared…

    Thank you for spreading this amazing display of Love….

    Hey dear! Glad that you found this video. I also stumbled upon it when I was surfing for inspiration for my quest to run a marathon (yes I will… sometime!!). Would you like to join me? Run a marathon, that is 🙂 Among many other great ones, there’s an interesting one at Disney World… so our family can have a great time while we sweat ourselves silly over 42km. When your little bun in the oven is popped out and waddling around, we shall re-visit this idea. Okay? 😀

    love and hugs from me!

    The Giddy Tigress says: Okay 🙂 But I will probably be the one waddling and huffing and puffing way behind!
