SCRIPTURE READING
(in unison)
Verse 1
I heard an old, old story,
How a Savior came from glory,
How He gave His life on Calvary
To save a wretch like me,
I heard about His groaning,
Of His precious blood's atoning,
Then I repented of my sins
And won the victory

Chorus
O victory in Jesus, My Savior, forever!
He sought me and bought me
With His redeeming blood,
He loved me ere I knew Him
And all my love is due Him,
He plunged me to victory,
Beneath the cleansing flood
Verse 2
I heard about His healing,
Of His cleansing power revealing,
How He made the lame to walk again
And caused the blind to see,
And then I cried, "Dear Jesus,
Come and heal my broken spirit,"
And somehow Jesus came and brought
To me the victory

SCRIPTURE READING
OUR PRAYER LIST
Luke 24:45-49 NKJV
45. And He opened their understanding,
that they might comprehend the
Scriptures.
46. Then He said to them, “Thus it is
written, and thus it was necessary for
the Christ to suffer and to rise from
the dead the third day,
47. and that repentance and remission of
sins should be preached in His name
to all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.
48. And you are witnesses of these
things.
49. Behold, I send the Promise of My
Father upon you; but tarry in the city
of Jerusalem until you are endued
with power from on high.”
