Verse 1
His G be the D Victor's G Name,
who G fought the C fight alG one;
triG umpant Am7 saints no G/B honor C claim;
their Am7 conquest Dsus was His G own.
Verse 2
By G weakness D and defG eat,
He G won the C glorious G crown;
trod G all His Am7 foes benG/B eath His C feet
by Am7 being Dsus trodden G down.
Chorus
What C though the Em vile accD user C roar
of C sins that Bm I had C done;
I G know them Am7 well, and G/B thousands C more,
My Am7 God, He Dsus knoweth G none.
Verse 3
He G hell in D hell laid G low,
made G sin, He C sin o'er G threw;
bowed G to the Am7 grave, destrG/B oyed it C so;
and Am7 death by Dsus dying G slew.
Verse 4
Bless, G bless the CD onqueror G slain;
slain G by DivC ine decG ree;
who G lived, who Am7 died, who G/B lives agC ain,
for Am7 thee, my Dsus soul, for G Thee.
Bridge
My C sin is cast inD to the sea
Of Em God's forgotten G/B memory
No C more to haunt accD usingly
For Em Christ has lived and diG/B ed for me (2x)
