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
verse 2
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
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
Instrumental
verse 3
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, the old redemption story
And some sweet day I'll sing up there the song of 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
