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 (victory in Jesus), my Savior (my Savior) forever (forever)
He sought me and He bought me with His redeeming blood (He bought me with His blood)
(He loved me 'ere I knew Him) He loved me 'ere I knew Him (and all my love is due 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 He caused the blind to see
(I cried out, "Dear Jesus") And then I cried, "Dear Jesus, (come and heal my broken spirit) come and heal my broken spirit"
I then obeyed His blest command and gained the victory
Repeat Chorus
The flood...
I heard about a mansion He has built for me in glory
And I heard about the street of gold beyond the crystal sea (beyond the crystal sea)
(The angels singing) About the angels singing (the old redemption story) and the old redemption story
Oh and some sweet day I'll sing up there the song of victory
Repeat Chorus (x2)
(Don't you know) He plunged me to victory beneath the cleansing flood
(I said) He plunged me to victory beneath the cleansing flood
I've got a victory in Jesus
You've got a victory in Jesus
