Victory In Jesus
Guy Penrod Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
How He gave His life on Calvary to save a wretch like me
I heard about His groaning, (of His blood's atoning) of His precious blood's atoning
Then I repented (repented) of my sins (repented of my sins) and won the victory
Oh victory in Jesus (victory in Jesus), my Savior (my Savior) forever (forever)
He sought me and He bought me with His redeeming blood (bought me with His blood)
He loved me 'ere I knew Him and all my love is due Him
He plunged me to victory beneath the cleansing flood
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"
I then obeyed His blest command and gained the victory
Repeat The flood...
I heard about a mansion He has built for me in glory
And I heard about the street of gold beyond the crystal sea (beyond the crystal sea)
About the angels singing (the angels are singing) and the old redemption story
Oh and some sweet day I'll sing up there the song of victory
Repeat He plunged me to victory beneath the cleansing flood
He plunged me to victory beneath the cleansing flood
I've got a victory in Jesus
You've got a victory in Jesus

This was the very first worship song I remember learning as a child. To this day, I still get chills when I hear it, and can see my grandfather sitting at the end of our pew in church, grinning from ear to ear, because he knew exactly what I was feeling as I sang the words, knowing that my Jesus is the very same Jesus who gave his life on the cross so that we can all be saved.

When I was a little girl, I thought it was "He punched me to victory". To this day, my family sings it like that to tease me. Thank God He plunges us instead of punching us to victory! 😀 Love this song and version! I think we'll sing it this way in Heaven!
