Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Hold me in the stillness till I see Your face
Waiting in the silence as You speak my name
Rising like an eagle I will fly
Chorus
Sweet Victory over the enemy
Gentle Power, all I ever needed
Sweet Victory, I take it finally
It was a long time coming
Sweet Victory
In this place I rest in more than I can see
High above the turbulence You carry me
From deep in a full heart I will speak Your name
Rising like an eagle I will fly
Chorus
I held so tightly to my fear
There were so many sins repeated
But Your love has brought me here
And the Victory is sweet
Victory is sweet
