Song of the Week: Victory in Jesus (Christ Won the Victory)” by Keith & Kristyn Getty and Matt Boswell

This week’s song of the week is “Victory in Jesus (Christ Won the Victory)” by Keith & Kristyn Getty and Matt Boswell, recorded live at the 2024 Sing! Getty Music Worship Conference in Nashville. The song was written by E. M. Bartlett, Matt Boswell, Keith Getty, and Kristyn Getty.

“Victory in Jesus” is one of the greatest gospel songs ever written, full of vitality and celebration of the good news of Christ.  This new version – written in cooperation with the family that has stewarded the song for decades – builds on the original lyric to further proclaim the decisive work of Christ to set the sinner free.

Watch the performance of the song here.

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
Verse 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 sin,
“Christ won the victory!”
Verse 2
I heard about His healing
All his miracles revealing
That He alone can save a soul
And set the captive free
I’m happy in His promise
How soon He’s coming for us
And home with Him I’ll sing again
“Christ won the victory!”
Verse 3
I’ll tell the old, old story
Till my Savior comes from glory
I’ll tell of all the Lord has done
To set this sinner free
That all who will believe him
By Faith can still receive him
And share in that redemption song
“Christ won the victory!”
