Victory In Jesus

 1 Corinthians 15:57 But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

Our victory is in Jesus.  


When He came to this world, lived a perfect life, died on the cross and rose from the dead, He defeated every enemy, even the sting of death.


Victory In Jesus.

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.

 

CHORUS

Oh, Victory in Jesus, my Savior forever.    —   He sought me and he 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.

 

I heard 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 some how Jesus came and brought to me the Victory. - - -


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! - - -
