Hello Hive Open Mic family!
For Week 308, themed “Charity,” I decided to sing “My Redeemer Lives” by Nicole C. Mullen. To me, charity goes beyond giving material things; it is also about love, grace, and the sacrifice that comes from a genuine place of compassion.
When I think about charity in its deepest form, I am reminded of the ultimate act of love, the redemption that gives hope, healing, and a second chance. This song beautifully expresses that hope and faith, reminding us that no matter what we face in life, we are not alone. The message of “My Redeemer Lives” is one of assurance, love, and the powerful gift of grace that has been given to humanity.
Singing this song made me reflect on the kind of love that gives without expecting anything in return, the kind of love that uplifts, restores, and brings light even in dark moments. That, to me, is the true spirit of charity.
I hope this cover blesses and encourages someone listening today. Thank you to the Hive Open Mic community for always creating a space where music, expression, and meaningful themes can come together.
With love,
Oyinwrites 🎤✨
Lyrics
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 'til evening?
Whose words alone can catch a falling star?
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, yeah
The very same God that 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 me victory
Now I know my Redeemer lives
I know my Redeemer lives
Let all creation testify
Let this life within me cry
I know my Redeemer, He lives
To take away my shame
And He lives forever, I'll proclaim
That the payment for my sin
Was the precious life He gave
But now He's alive and there's an empty grave
And I know my Redeemer, He lives
I know my Redeemer lives
Let all creation testify
Let this life within me cry
I know my Redeemer
I know my Redeemer lives
I know my Redeemer lives
I know that, I know that, I know that, I know that
I know my Redeemer lives
Because He lives I can face tomorrow
I know, I know, He lives, He lives, yeah, yeah
I spoke with Him this morning
He lives, He lives, the tomb is empty
He lives, He lives, I've gotta tell everybody, yeah
