Victory in Jesus
LYRICS
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 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.
2. I heard about His healing of His cleansing power 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 brought to me the victory.
Chorus
3. 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.
Chorus
Pass it On (Another Camp Favorite!)
LYRICS
1. It only takes a spark to get a fire going,
And soon all those around can warm up in its glowing;
That’s how it is with God’s love, once you’ve experienced it:
You spread God’s love to everyone, you want to pass it on.
2. What a wondrous time is spring when all the trees are budding,
The birds begin to sing, the flowers start their blooming;
That’s how it is with God’s love, once you’ve experienced it:
You want to sing, it’s fresh like spring, you want to pass it on.
3. I wish for you my friend, this happiness that I’ve found –
On God you can depend, it matters not where you’re bound;
I’ll shout it from the mountain top, I want my world to know:
The Lord of love has come to me, I want to pass it on.
Sing of One Who Walks Beside Us
LYRICS
1. Sing of one who walks beside us and this day is living still,
One who now is closer to us than the thoughts our hearts distill,
Christ who once upon a hill top, raised against the power of sin,
Died in love as his own creatures crucified their God and Friend!
2. We have walked with him as strangers through the journey of the day,
And have told him of the violence that has swept our hope away.
He has offered words of comfort, words of energy and light.
Did our hearts not blaze within us as he broke the bread this night?
3. Risen one, stay with us, raise us, once again the night is near.
Dine with us and share your wisdom, free our hearts from every fear.
In the calm of each new evening, in the freshness of each dawn,
If you hold us fast in friendship we will never be alone.
