I heard this version of Victory in Jesus for the first time at Beth Moore Living Proof here in Greensboro NC.
It’s an old, old hymn with a terrific new sound by Travis Cottrell.
As always, I wish you a blessed Sunday filled with family and rest!

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.
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.
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.

Great rendition of “Victory in Jesus” isn’t it? I don’t remember if it was our church praise team of someone else I heard do the “now” version, but I sure like it. I got to your post today fresh off listening to Casting Crowns. Awesome time of worship. Thanks.

Hi, Janet. Thanks so much for visiting my Simple Gift Sunday post. I’m glad you love this new Victory in Jesus version, too! I loved it when I heard it at the Beth Moore conference recently. Have a blessed day!

Lovely images and thoughts/music. Thanks : )
{Melinda} I remember singing this as a little girl in my home church. It’s such an oldie, but so beautiful, with such a message of Truth! 🙂
Ah … those were the days, singing this old old hymn way back in the day … a real Sunday evening service staple. God’s truths never change, even though the packaging might get adjusted! Thanks, Marty, for the always truthful reminder of His faithfulness!
Thanks so much for leaving a comment on my Sunday post. There IS Victory in Jesus!

I love the words to this song, Marty. Thanks so much for sharing them, the video and the amazing photos your son took. He is quite the photographer! I suppose those are flowers from your garden, though. So maybe some of the credit should go to you too. 🙂 Thanks so much for linking this up with Wedded Wed, my friend!
Very lovely photos and thoughts!
