The Victory
Phil Wickham Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

On a hill Your blood was spilled
Your brow, Your hands, Your feet
With nails and thorns the veil was torn
To make a way for me, You made a way for me.

Jesus, Savior, my God, my King, my Lord
Jesus, Savior, the victory is Yours.
Wrapped and bound, they laid You down
A perfect sacrifice
But in three days, the stone was rolled away
Forever You're alive
Forever You're alive

Jesus, Savior, my God, my King, my Lord
Jesus, Savior, the victory is Yours
The victory is Yours

Death has been beaten
The grave has been conquered




Jesus is risen
Life ever after

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Phil Wickham's song "The Victory" describe the ultimate sacrifice that Jesus made for humanity. The opening line, "On a hill Your blood was spilled," refers to the crucifixion of Jesus Christ on the hill of Calvary. Wickham then describes the gruesome details of the crucifixion: "Your brow, Your hands, Your feet, / With nails and thorns the veil was torn." The veil is a reference to the curtain in the temple of Jerusalem that separated the sacred space of the Holy of Holies from the rest of the temple. The tearing of the veil symbolized the breaking down of the barrier between God and humanity, made possible by the sacrifice of Jesus.


The chorus of the song declares Jesus as the Savior, God, King, and Lord. The second half of the chorus, "the victory is Yours," refers to the resurrection of Jesus Christ. The bridge of the song, "Death has been beaten / The grave has been conquered / Jesus is risen / Life ever after," celebrates the victory of Jesus over death, and the hope of eternal life that this victory provides for believers.


Overall, "The Victory" is a powerful declaration of the Christian faith in the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus Christ, and the hope that this faith provides for believers.
