I heard an old old sto- ry how a Sav- ior came from glo- ry
How He gave His life on Calva- ry to save a wretch like me
I heard about His groan-ing of His pre- cious blood's a- ton- ing
Then I repented of my sins and won the vic- to- ry
O victory in Jesus my Sav- ior for- ev- er
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 heal- ing of His cleansing pow'r re- veal-ing
How He made the lame to walk a- gain and caused the blind to see
And then I cried dear Je- sus come and heal my broken spir-it
And somehow Jesus came and brought to me the vic- to- ry
I heard about a man- sion He has built for me in glo- ry
And I heard about the streets of gold be- yond the crystal sea
About the angels sing- ing and the old redemption sto- ry
And some sweet day I'll sing up there the song of vic- to- ry
