Verse 1

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

Verse 2

I heard about His groaning
Of His precious blood's atoning
Then I repented of my sins
And won the victory

Verse 3

I heard about His healing
Of His cleansing power revealing
How He made the lame to walk again
And caused the blind to see

Verse 4

And then I cried dear Jesus
Come and heal my broken spirit
And somehow Jesus came and brought
To me 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

Refrain

O victory in Jesus
O victory in Jesus

Verse 5

I heard it said on Calvary
When they took away His body
They said He was the Son of God
So where's the Savior now

Verse 6

But that grave it couldn't hold You
And death it can't control You
And because You live
My heart can sing
The song of victory
Yes all the Earth
Will sing His praise
For all eternity

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

Tag

He plunged me to victory
Beneath the cleansing flood
