Jesus Has Overcome the World

The weary road was long and steep,

The troubled heart too tired to weep.

But heaven heard the fervent plea,

And stepped into our history. 

Upon a hill, the battle won,

The radiant work of God's own Son.

He broke the chains of sin and fear

,And brought the kingdom bright and near. 

(Chorus)Jesus has overcome the world,

His victory banner is unfurled!

Death has lost its deadly sting,

Hear the ransomed children sing!

Jesus has overcome the world. 

(Bridge) 

He bore our guilt, He took our blame,

And He did not despise the shame.

Upon the cross, the debt was paid,

Where sin was crushed and atonement made

Open up the gates of praise,

Lift your voice through endless days!

Every sorrow, every pain,

Must bow before His glorious name! 

(Chorus)Jesus has overcome the world,

His victory banner is unfurled!

Death has lost its deadly sting,

Hear the ransomed children sing!

Jesus has overcome the world. 

(Outro)He reigns in triumph, strong and free,

Now and for eternity

.Jesus has overcome

!Jesus has overcome!
