Victory
Eleni Baker Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The cross went up the blood ran down
All at once the lost were found

Our shame upon his shoulders
Our lashes on his back
Our pardon has been purchased
Our freedom marks his hands
Our shame upon his shoulders
Our lashes on his back
Our pardon has been purchased
Our freedom marks his hands

Victory oh victory
My God my Savior rose for me
Death and hell where is your sting
My God my Savior my victory

You came to die you came to give
You rose again so all could live

Our shame upon his shoulders
Our lashes on his back
Our pardon has been purchased
Our freedom marks his hands
Our shame upon his shoulders
Our lashes on his back
Our pardon has been purchased
Our freedom marks his hands

Victory oh victory
My God my Savior rose for me
Death and hell where is your sting
My God my Savior my victory

Sin won't stand a chance
Against the great I Am
Sin won't stand a chance
Against the great I Am

Victory oh victory
My God my Savior rose for me




Death and hell where is your sting
My God my Savior my victory
