[C#]
[F#] [C#] I heard an old, old [A#m] story, [F#] how a Savior came from [C#] glory,
[Fm] how he [A#m] gave his life on [A#m] Calvary [D#] to save a wretch like [G#] me.
[G#] I [C#] heard about his groaning, [F#] of his precious blood's [C#] atoning.
Then [A#m]
I repented of my sins [F#] and won the [C#] victory,
[F#] [C#] oh victory in Jesus, my [F#]
Savior [C#] forever.
He [A#]
sought me and bought me [D#] with his [G#] redeeming blood.
He [C#] loved me ere I knew him, [F#] and all my love [C#] is due him.
[A#m] He plunged me to [C#] victory [F#] beneath the [G#] cleansing [C#] flood.
[F#] [C#] His healing, of [F#] his cleansing power [C#]
revealing,
how [A#m] he made the lame to [C#]
walk again [D#] and cause the blind [G#] to see.
[C#] And then I cried, dear Jesus, [F#] come and heal my broken [A#m]
spirit.

victory [F#] beneath the [G#] cleansing [C#]
flood.
I heard about a mansion he [F#] has built for me in glory.
And [A#m] I heard about [C#] the streets of [F] gold [D#]
beyond the crystal [G#] sea,
[C#] about the angels singing and [F#] the old redemption [C#] story.
[A#m] And some sweet day [C#] I'll sing [A#m] up there [F#] the [G#] song of [C#] victory, oh victory in Jesus, my [F#]
Savior [C#] forever.
