1 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
REFRAIN
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.
2 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 brought to me the victory. REFRAIN
3 I heard about a mansion He has built for me in glory andI 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. REFRAIN
