Are You Victorious In Jesus

Are You Victorious In Jesus?

Has your way of living been 
that of a Christian?"
Are you hanging on to things that
  create a suspicion?

Are there chains that are 
 holding you down?
The victory you seek.  
 hasn't been found?

Is there a habit that you  
can't seem to break.
You seek godliness,  
but suffer another heartache.

No matter how many good sermons
 you hear preached.
Victory over sin seems to be "out of reach."

Run and flee from every temptation
  holding you down.
Where there's sin...  God's grace does 
much more abound.

God says: "Draw near to me and 
I'll draw near unto you."
Allow his word to teach how you live 
and the things you do.

Hunger for HIS righteousness. 
Then victory can be fulfilled.
Jesus will calm your storms and say "peace be still."

He alone can bring the victory 
you now seek.
He’ll give you power in your 
life when you are weak.

He resists the proud,.  
but gives grace to the humble.
He’s there to pick you up 
each time you stumble.
