Remembering "Victory in Jesus" . . . . . from "His Kindness Year Round"!

Psalm 118:24 “Today is the day the Lord has made; let’s rejoice and be glad in it.”

As God continues to speak, reveal, transform and direct the path, He has placed several old hymns upon my heart within in the past few weeks.  Today I have repeatedly found myself humming this song . . . . perhaps you may remember the old hymn . . .

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

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.

May you recognize and accept the Victory the Lamb of God sacrificed His life and gave to us.

1 Peter 5:7 “Give all your worries and cares to God, for He cares about you.”

Prayerfully, your sister in Him,

Robin
