From the album Nicole C. Mullen (Word, 2000)
Redeemer first appeared on Mullen's debut release on Word Records in 2000, but her participation in the music industry goes all the way back to 1991 when she released her first album, Don't Let Me Go, on the independant Frontline label. She was perhaps better known as a back up singer on the music video at the end of the VeggieTales program, Larry-Boy and the Fib from Outer Space! and the opening of the VeggieTales presentation, Larry-Boy and the Rumor Weed. In the 90s, she also sang back-up for Michael W. Smith and the Newsboys and worked as a dancer/choreographer with Amy Grant. Her first big hit was a song she wrote for Jaci Velasquez called On My Knees. (See Day 14.)

According to Cross Rhythms, "Nicole is possessed of a beautiful voice that bears favourable comparison with Whitney Houston and a talent for writing catchy songs that get your foot tapping then hit you between the eyes when the lyrics filter through to the brain."
Upon its release Redeemer immediately became a huge hit quickly rising to #1 on the Christian charts. The music industry rewarded her talent with her second Dove Award for Song of the year. She received her first Song of the Year award for co-writing On My Knees. She also received Dove Awards for Songwriter of the Year, Pop/Contemporary Record of the Year and Female Vocalist of the Year.
Here is the original studio released concept video for the song.
