Victory in Christ is Mine
By Effie Darlene Barba
Victory in Christ is mine
Found in Christ my joy sublime
In Christ my hope eternity
Forgiven, redeemed in Christ I be
Beauty and Grace in Christ I found
Glory and Love in Christ abound
In this world, I’ve faced such pain and grief
How deep I plunged with no relief
From battles fought and battles lost
Man’s search for joys whate’er the cost
I could not bear my weight of shame
My own heart’s voice “I am to blame”
Then in the deepest darkest hour
A glorious light of greatest power
It was the truth of God’s dear word
The whispering sound of grace I heard
Glory great did then abound
Love’s rays enwrapped me all around
I gazed upon a cross of pain
While tears fell down like pouring rain
His hand reached out to set me free
As sorrow turned to joy filled glee
I realized in God’s dear Son
The greatest treasure I had won
And herein lies the mystery
The one the world doth shun to see
That in the midst of sorrows here
I learn to see His Glory clear
I lay all else as loss behind
The one true source of joy I find
His Glory shining brighter still
As I conforming to His will
Rejoice amidst my darkness hour
Weakness now revealing power
While drenched beneath torrential rain
Continue singing this refrain:
Victory in Christ is mine
Found in Christ my joy sublime
In Christ my hope eternity
Forgiven, redeemed in Christ I be
Beauty and Grace in Christ I found
Glory and Love in Christ abound
