• "Victory In Jesus" is my favorite hymn and I remember the day so many years ago when I first heard David Ring sing this hymn. I saw him on a Christian TV show and was so touched by his testimony and his preaching. It deeply affected me as a new baby Christian. He came to my mind today as I was thinking about the Lord's day tomorrow. I was just reflecting. I hopped onto YouTube and found a clip to share.
  Several years ago my husband, daughter, son and I were totally blessed to see and hear David Ring in person. We all were changed that evening in one way or another.
  He is an inspiration to me and when I get to feeling sorry for myself it cannot last long when I think of Pastor Ring. If he made it through all his hardships....so can I.
  
  Be blessed as you sing along. Listen all the way through to all the verses. 
  If you want to know more about him he has a book called Just As I Am (it is a wonderful book) and some videos and DVDs and here is his website.

  May the Lord bless you abundantly this Lord's day!
  
  Victory In Jesus
  
  
  I HEARD AN OLD,
  OLD STORY
  HOW A SAVIOUR CAME
  FROM GLORY
  HOW HE GAVE HIS LIFE
  ON CALVARY
  TO SAVE SOMEONE LIKE ME

  I HEARD ABOUT
  HIS GROANING,
  OF HIS PRECIOUS BLOOD'S
  ATONING
  THEN I REPENTED
  OF MY SIN
  AND WON THE VICTORY

  OH, VICTORY IN JESUS,
  MY SAVIOUR FOREVER
  HE SOUGHT ME
  AND HE 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
  HEALING,
  OF HIS CLEANSING POW'R
  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

  OH, VICTORY IN JESUS,
  MY SAVIOUR FOREVER
