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.
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.
I heard about His healing,
Of His cleansing pow’r 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 bro’t
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.
Notes
“Victory in Jesus” is a triumphant testimony of salvation, healing, and the eternal hope we have through Christ. The lyrics recount the story of how Jesus came from glory, gave His life on Calvary to save lost sinners, and through His precious blood brought redemption. Upon hearing this old, old story and the groaning of His atonement, the heart turns to repentance and finds victory. The song goes on to celebrate His healing power—how He made the lame walk and the blind see—and how even in brokenness, Jesus comes and gives victory. It ends with the glorious promise of heaven: a mansion prepared, golden streets, and eternal songs of redemption. As Scripture says in 1 Corinthians 15:57 (KJV): “But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.” Indeed, this hymn is a bold declaration of the eternal victory we receive through the finished work of Christ on the cross.
