Verse 1 
   G                          
I heard an old, old story  
            C                        
How a Savior came from glory, 
               Em                   G   
How He gave His life on Calvary  
   A                               D 
To save a wretch like me; 
  G                                 
I heard about His groaning,  
           C                        G 
Of His precious blood's atoning, 
         Em            G   
Then I repented of my sin  
        D          G 
And won the victory. 
 
Chorus 
     C           G             C             G  
O victory in Jesus, my Savior forever. 
       Em                   G 
He sought me and bought me  
        A                         D 
With His redeeming blood. 
        G                                  
He loved me ere I knew Him,  
           C                    G 
And all my love is due Him, 
      Em                   G 
He plunged me to victory  
   D                C             G 
Beneath the cleansing flood. 
 
Verse 2 
           
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 somehow Jesus came and brought  
To me the victory. 
 
(Chorus) 
 
Verse 3               
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)
