Verse 1G
I heard an old, old story
C
How a Savior came from glory,
EmG
How He gave His life on Calvary
AD
To save a wretch like me;
G
I heard about His groaning,
CG
Of His precious blood's atoning,
EmG
Then I repented of my sin
DG
And won the victory.
ChorusC. GCG
O victory in Jesus, my Savior forever.
EmG
He sought me and bought me
AD
With His redeeming blood.
G
He loved me ere I knew Him,
CG
And all my love is due Him,
EmG
He plunged me to victory
DCG
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.
(Chorus)
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
And the old redemption story,
And some sweet day I'll sing up there
The song of victory.
(Chorus)
