I
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 sins and won the victory,
II
I heard about His healing,
of His cleansing power revealing,
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,
And some-how jesus came and bro't to me the victory.
III
I heard about a mansion
He has built for me in glory,
And I heard about the streets of gold
beyond the crystal sea;
About the angels singing,
and the old redemption story,
And some sweet day I'll sing
up there the song of victory.
chorus
O victory in jesus, my savior, forever,
He sought me and bo't 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.
