Victory in Jesus Lyrics

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, yeah

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 pow-er 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

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, oh. Yeah

Sweet, sweet Jesus

Yes, 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

Yes, He plunged me to victory beneath the cleansing flood

Victory in Jesus is a great song. It is the old redemption story, that depicts the life of someone coming to Jesus. 

It starts by remembering the sacrifice that Jesus Christ made. Recalling Jesus’ blood being spilled, the song helps us to remember that Jesus gave up his life for us. This moment reminds us of the old rugged cross that Jesus died on. 

Following that, the song goes on to declare that the singers have repented of their sings. Repentance of sins is a major part of the redemption story. We have to acknowledge our need for God to allow Him to guide our next steps. 

The chorus starts and talks about how He deserves the glory and praise for the things that he did. The focus of the song then shifts to the healing power of Jesus. Not only is there victory over our sin, but there is also victory over sickness. Nothing is impossible for God.
