Faith Brings Victory
By Earl L. Davis
Music makes me happy
Oh, what a joy to sing
A melody praising my Savior
Jesus Christ the king.
As Lord of Lords, and King of Kings
The world His vast domain
Christ will take His rightful throne
And with his saints will reign.
What a friend we have in Jesus
A friend so kind and true
He lovingly guardeth our footsteps
As we are born anew.
We have a Mansion over the hilltop
A home beyond the skies
The answers to our questions
Of all the hows and whys.
We can see there's Victory in Jesus
And feel the Amazing Grace
As we believe that Christ our Savior
Died for the human race.
Heaven is the Haven of Rest
But not all will enter in
Only those who've trusted Jesus
To wash away their sins.
Nothing but the blood of Jesus
Can cleanse our wicked souls
Only the precious blood of Calvary
Can make us sure and whole.
Jesus is now standing
At the doorway of your heart
Waiting patiently to enter
Sweet salvation to impart.
So turn your eyes upon Jesus
Give him your life today
Surrender all upon the altar
For he is the Truth and Way.
"Ye must be born again"
The Holy Spriptures say
Trust Jesus Christ to save you
Do this today, I pray.
Join me in life's journey
With a stop at Calvary
There give your life to Jesus
And be secure eternally.
