Call to Worship “Praise and Adoration”
426 “Victory in Jesus” 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.
Oh 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. 426 “Victory in Jesus”
I heard about His healing, of His cleansing pow'r 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 somehow Jesus came and bro’t to me the victory. 426 “Victory in Jesus”
Oh 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. 426 “Victory in Jesus”
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. 426 “Victory in Jesus”
Oh 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. 426 “Victory in Jesus”
