"Victory in Jesus"
Music and Lyrics: Eugene M. Bartlett, 1939 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. I heard about His healing, Of His cleansing power revealing, How He made the lame to walk again And cause the blind to see; And the I cried "Dear Jesus, Come and heal my broken spirit." I then obeyed His blest commands And gained 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. Chorus: 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. |
