Burl Ives - 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.       Chorus   O victory in Jesus,   My Savior, forever.   He sought me and bought 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.    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.       Chorus   O victory in Jesus,   My Savior, forever.   He sought me and bought 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.    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 bought 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.
