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.

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.

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 somehow 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.
