Victorious

Verse 1

Yeah you know people talk a lot about other people

It causes a lot of pain

messes up a lot of friendships But man how many times do we

mess things up with God

and He still takes us back yo

I've been talked about all behind my back I

see how people operate and hate the way they act

They say it when you're gone but never to your face

Forgiveness isn't natural because I'm new to grace It's hard to comprehend

tough for me to grasp That I

was in the wrong but God spared me from His wrath

Through the bloodbath of His broken Son I've broken all the laws because

I've broken one And yet His ocean runs and drowns me in His love And this breaks my heart

because I've been one to hold a grudge And I

refuse to budge grounded in my pride But now it's time to let it out and show

you what's inside My depraved heart my corrupt mind slave to myself

Verse 2

chained up And I find all apart from Him that's where my life

is at He came and made me brand new What kind of Christ

is that That's a selfless King willing to sacrifice And He will take

you back no matter where you're at tonight He lived to give His life on them

wood beams To offer those asleep more than just good dreams But some

real life to make up for that No longer lame you can walk

go take up your mat And tell the whole world He's victorious

All powerful beautiful and glorious

Yeah And that's what's so incredible about the love of God

Is that while we were still sinners Christ died for us

I mean we can only love God because He first loved us

Just go through the book of 1

John and you see how explicitly John speaks of God's love

And how that love of God was demonstrated perfectly through Christ Jesus

Through His life through His death and through His resurrection

And in light of that love of God if you've truly experienced it

Verse 3

then it'll show up all over your life It'll pour into other people

It'll be so evident They will know us by our love

People in my life doubt in my ability Encouragement from friends in the end

is what I really need I

know I'm not the man I

one day will be The weathered face in the mirror I

one day will see Over the hill but still the underdog

Pledge my life to Christ one nation under God Where's my allegiance

Forever with the Lord They speak in dagger words I

reply with the sword of the scriptures Yes there's manuscripts

You've taken shots at the faith but can you handle this

Inspiration revealed from on high You want to argue You're talking to the wrong

guy But I'm down to chop it up You know

chat about it But conversation can occur if you get mad about it So let's

be civil with it but still hold our ground Speak the truth in love

Hook

That's how we hold it down

Verse 4

Cause yeah I'm not here to argue

I'm not out to win debates I'm out to win souls

Hook

Speak the truth in love That's how we hold it down

Bridge

Man if you want to talk about God I

genuinely want to engage in conversation with you Talk to you face to face

Hit me up anytime

Hook

Yeah speak the truth in love That's how we hold it down

That's how we hold it down
