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
I heard about His groaning, of His precious blood's atoning
Then I repented of my sin, Christ won the victory
Chorus
Oh 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, all His miracles revealing
That He alone can save a soul, and set the captive free
I'm happy in His promise, how soon He's coming for us
And home with Him I'll sing again, Christ won the victory
Verse 3
I'll tell the old, old story, till my Savior comes from glory
I'll tell of all the Lord has done, to set this sinner free
That all who will believe Him, by faith can still receive Him
And share in that redemption song, Christ won the victory
