As an appreciator of both, I say avoid that moral high horse. Christian rock that glorifies the name of Jesus can be as powerful as hymn. God is far more dynamic and understanding of the hearts of his people than a mere cardboard cutout of what people think a Christian is. I don’t mean to get so passionate from your comment, but you can trust God has his people in it on the hymn and rock front.
When I stood at the grave of my 20 year old daughter. she died from an unknown genetic dysfunction . I knew that even though I felt dead inside Jesus was with me. As angry as I was. Now 22 years later they know what was wrong with her and now I am dying of the same inherited disease.AND FOR ALL THE TIMES I HAVE TOLD GOD I HATED HIM He has wrapped His loving arms around me and forgiven my human side because I have Victory in Jesus!!!!!
I was raised in church but after I got married I stopped going. 30 something years I felt him pulling me to his love. Thank you Jesus for not giving up on me.
Mine has passed while I'm still young but her making me go to a good ole Baptist church growing up that sang these, kept them in my heart and is the only way for me to truly feel worship anymore. God bless her and I pray I see her in Heaven, but she was a complicated person.
My grandmother was the piano player and these songs are ingrained in me forever and am forever grateful she drug me to church whenever those doors were open!!😊😊
This is a song that helped me to remain faithful to the Lord while I was in prison. We sung it several times while I was down. It is awesome that it's on here! Praise God!!!
The stain of sin came out only when I allowed Jesus to cleanse me! Nothing I could do helped me only Jesus! only Jesus! Jesus alone. Thank God for the victory over self, sin, and satan. amen
We sang this hymn as the last song at my beloved grand mother’s funeral a couple months ago. What a blessing we were able to do this for her. It brings uncontrollable tears to my eyes.
i was feeling very depressed and continually questioning god about his works, but i just came and listened to this sound and it gave me much much encouragement just going to listen to it a lil bit more and trust jesus more.
I love jesus. Even though i dont deserve his forgiveness he chooses to show me it everytime. Im so hopless without jesus. This world has no hope without christ.
Love this song, especially the last stanza, which replaces and old version. What touches me in this stanza is the revelation Jesus gives us of the oneness of His body and freedom from indwelling sin. Finally, the call to come out of Babylon into the glorious church. I am praising God for this victory in Jesus!
1 Corinthians <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="955">15:55</a>-57 Where, O death, is your victory? Where, O death, is your sting?”[a] 56 The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law. 57 But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ!!! Love this gospel song!!
i don't really listen to this kinda music and don't really attend church like i should but something about this song is making me hit the replay button
We sang this every morning at Penfield ,I get chills cuz this kinda sounds like us in the morning praising the most high!Thank you Jesus!you saved me!I love you forever
God blessed me and i didnt even see it until i came back to God. He blessed me with my husband, a beautiful daughter and soon a second baby and even more so i have a village within my husbands family to help me raise my baby girl. Amen. Thankyou Lord my seeking me out, saving me, loving me, having me as your daughter, and giving me an amazing family from my hubbys side of the family. 🙏💖 Amen thankyou Lord.
Today, February 10, 2013, I helped carry my beloved uncle to his final resting place. This was sung as a solo at the gravesite. I love you, Uncle Johnnie.
This is a beautiful song.... reminds me of how much Love Jesus Christ has for us. He loves us all and is our creator... savior, and God. The Great "I AM" of the old testament and the New. John <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="61">1:1</a> "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God." He paid the ultimate price so all can get to heaven through Him. John <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="196">3:16</a>-17," For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved." Love others as you want to be loved, forgive your enemies and seek Jesus with all your heart. This is what I am reminded in this song. Jesus loves us ALL, even sinners and unbelievers. Great job on this song!
My x girlfriend from 10 years ago made fun of me for enjoying this song in church when we sung it. Makes me cry everytime I hear it because it's so beautiful.
I love this song it speaks to my heart. My spirit is agreeing with this song. Jesus is the way the truth and the life. No one gets to God except through Jesus
I was raised going to church every Sunday at a major denomination (I won't mention which one) but as an adult I found myself going to church because I was supposed to, not necessarily because I wanted to. Then, during a very dark time of my life, an old friend whom I hadn't spoke with for years reached out to me an extended the offer to have me come to their church service for a visit. Adter that, Church became something i looked forward to every week and my faith grew stronger and deeper, and 6 years and 4 months later, I accepted, with tearful eyes, christ as my one lord and savor, and i was rebaptized in the river. Praise God
+Alex Anderson And one day you will! Perhaps even before we go home to the Father in Heaven! Let your hunger for Him drive your relationship with Him deeper! God wants to physically hug you too!
You can be lost in this crazy world of sin and be living a life you know isn't in line with the way you were brought up. But all it takes is a powerful hymn from your youth like this one to really feel the Holy Spirit pulling at your very soul. Wonderful lyrics that make me yearn to get my life together. Thank you for taking the time to post these powerful old hymns. You've truly blessed one sinner today!
I can relate I've been drifting from the straight and narrow way I'm 15 and I grew with this song there used to be a man at my church his name was George and I always loved the way Brother George sang this song with all his heart and I want to start serving God with all my heart too
I urge you today... "Behold now is the Accepted day of Salvation..." What if everything You learned young Was for God to Have your heart Prepared for this Moment? Confess All "missing the Mark" & shortcomings. Request the GIFT of True repentance. READ the Bible In a version you Understand Everyday 1 chapter, ask & Believe God will Speak to your heart Through it. Read JOHN Completely one day at a Time. Pray for Mercy and grace For the day Everyday.
I couldnt imagine your pain, but glory hallelujah! If, she was saved, She is singing a song angels cannot learn! Victroy in Jesus! Let His triumph ring forever! I know my dear old granny is doing the same in the bright land where well never grow old! God Bless you Sir!
One of my favorite old hymns. Today's gospel don't hold a light to these old hymns. This new gospel is to commercial for me. I can feel God's holy spirit when i hear these old hymns. Especially, this one. To him all the glory!!
Seems like this sums up my whole life story I’m 31 years old and got 11 months clean from drugs and alcohol and life is really different now. Almost like finally waking up... God is good and I’m truly grateful for His Grace and mercy🙏
This brings many memories of my small home church when Pastor would say," Make a joyful noise unto the Lord." This sounds much better than a studio production.
I say this song is awesome because it tells how God gave his life so we could be free from sin we are all still sinners but he died so we could repent of our sin I thank God so much for that he is holy
Patiently and humbly waiting for that Glorious, Victorious first day with Him and then foward FOREVER!!! Never to look back! The Fairest of all Creation, our Bright and Morning STAR! Our Savior and Redeemer! JESUS ... HIS NAME IS WONDERFUL
AMEN!!! Man that's my church's theme song, praise the Lord, brings tears to my eyes every time singing, that's the truth, amen, amen, that's the truth. And what a pleasure last sunday night, to sing it before the lost in our carols service, outside, no piano, no instruments, just the saints of God singing His holy praise, AMEN. No CCM junk, just old-time precious hymn-singing, holy, separated unto God. "I'll be with you alway" He said, alway, Amen, amen. Praise the Lord, if that don't make your heart jump for joy then brother you need to get right with God, amen.
Oct 20 is my birthday. I was saved Jan 2015 and prayed that for a sign, someone would be saved on my bday that year. You just confirmed it. You have been used by the Lord.
Visited a friend out of state this past weekend as her grandfather wasn’t doing well. I am not religious, but we sang this to him after the church service we had Sunday morning and he was mouthing the words as everyone sang. He passed this morning and I’m back out of state. Listening to this to honor him as a preacher, father, and grandfather, and as a final comfort for myself
Clean and Brilliant power of the Holy Spirt .Victory is are battle cry, halaluya. Through theses anointed people singing , Praise God for them ,and keep them in the POWER of the Holy Spirt all the days of there lives , and let them receive your almighty blessings and victory. To God be the glory.
Church of God, Thank you for this beautiful recording hymn of Victory in Jesus. I first heard this song in prison, where I had found God, and now live in a church ministry as a result. You have such a beautiful delivery in worship, I just put this on repeat and worship the Lord with you in spirit. God bless you! With love, your brother in Christ, Andrew.
Praise God, brother. Stay close to the Lord...he will never leave you or disappoint you. Nothing blesses my heart more than a prisoner coming to Christ. I love you....Anne
I was raised in the church but was given a works based, social gospel. I was not saved. I lived a dark life into my late forties then Jesus, called me to Him. I now follow Christ and know Him personally. I am saved by His blood shed atonement on the cross. God is good, and long suffering. Hallelujah!
Way back in 1988 our boy leader suddenly died in Boy Scout Troop 350. We sang this song at his funeral. My asst. scoutmaster belted this out with the worst voice I ever heard. It still sounded beautiful and I will never forget it every time I hear this song. Praise the Lord RIP Allan
This song always remind me on the day we were chased with my mum, having nowhere to go and nobody to go to. In deed the prayers of my Mum was heard and today I proclaim that THERE IS VICTORY IN JESUS NAME!!
The theology packed in this hymn is simply unparalleled. The truth reigns so much in such hymns . In contrast, today’s songs are purely materialistic and have no biblical essence.
wow,so nice song,thank God the victory that He gave to me.The revealed word,in this hour by his prophet.that can take us to the rapture.I want to live in the city of new Jerusalem.
Hi ,I used to be here I grew up in the church and this song was sung in the days when bro Daniel Layne was the still the leader I have always had high respect as it was felt clearly that he had a burden to show love to the world and to be a light were there was darkness. His voice is the one starting this song . I look forward for the days when the love and the anointing will be there like it was in those days, then it would be hard for me not to return home.
Praise Jesus my redeemer, God the Father, and the precious Holy Spirit of God. I LOVE you LORD. THANK YOU FOR SAVING ME A SINNER! I GIVE YOU ALL THE GLORY AND HONOR GOD. PRAISE YOU IM THE HIGHEST HEAVEN!!!!!
Oh my gosh I never herd that third verse of the song before! My hymnal is different. I loved it! Halleluiah! Right out of Revelation, "PEOPLE COME OUT OF HER" Referring to the symbolic City Babylon, City of sin. COME OUT OF HER PEOPLE, COME OUT AND KNOW JESUS AS YOUR SAVOIR! HE IS COMING TO REWARD US FOR OUR WORKS, GOOD OR BAD. ALL HAVE SINNED AND THE ONLY WAY OUT IS JESUS! HALLELUIAH! LORD COME! PRAISE JESUS FOR OUR VICTORY!
Amen and glory to God! I love the church congregational. And especially when they know their parts and words along with the spirit of worship. I was raised in the Black church and this is a reminder of how big and beautiful God is, His people, His praise and HIS church. Don't have me to preach. Hallelujah. God bless y'all and your leaders.
We cause problems and divisions for ourselves sometimes with over application of descibing hyms in terms of old and new. Yes, there maybe some hymns written during certain times not applicable to every season. However, there are also hyms inspired by sincere revelation of God, not the song-writing talent of man. This blessed hymn for me is one such example. Victory through Jesus, victory with Jesus, victory IN Jesus! I pray we all have experience of victory in Jesus in our lives, no matter what the storm or struggle. Victory established on the word of God and love of Jesus towards us in guaranteed
This is exactly what I desire, when someday I gather with the saints of God to fellowship. This is how I desire, TO SING TO GOD WITHOUT ANY MUSIC, INSTRUMENTS. Just use our voice !
