Victory in Jesus
1. I heard an old, old story,
How a Savior came from glory,
How He gave His life on Calvary
To save a wretch like me;
I heard about His groaning,
Of His precious blood’s atoning,
Then I repented of my sins
And won the victory.
Refrain:
O victory in Jesus, My Savior forever!
He sought me and bought me
With His redeeming blood;
He loved me Ere I knew Him,
And all my love is due Him;
He plunged me to victory
Beneath the cleansing flood.
2. I hear about His healing,
Of His cleansing power revealing,
How He made the lame to walk again
And caused the blind to see;
And then I cried, “Dear Jesus,
Come and heal my broken spirit,”
And somehow Jesus came and brought
To me the victory.
(Refrain)
3. I heard about a mansion
He has built for me in glory,
And I heard about
The streets of gold
Beyond the crystal sea;
About the angels singing
And the old redemption story,
And some sweet day
I’ll sing up there
The song of victory.
(Refrain)
