The devil thought he had me
But I got away
All because I (I've got the victory)
Sickness had me bound
But now I'm free
All because I (I've got the victory)
The devil thought that he had me
But Jesus came and grabbed me
(There's no doubt in my mind, I, I've got the victory)
The devil thought he had me
But I got away
All because I (I've got the victory)
Depression had me bound
But now I'm free
All because I (I've got the victory)
The devil thought that he had me
But Jesus came and grabbed me
(There's no doubt in my mind, I, I've got the victory)
Well I've come through (I've come through)
Many trials (many trials)
I've come through (I've come through)
Sickness and pain (sickness and pain)
They said I wouldn't make it
They said I wouldn't be here today
But by his grace, and by his love
I've already overcome
I've got
(I've got the victory)
Oh Yes, I've got it
(Yes, I've got it)
Jesus gave it (I've got the Victory)
I know that I got it (Yes, I've got it)
I wonder do you (I've got the Victory)
Have the victory tonight (Yes, I've got it)
Through every hard trial (I've got the Victory)
Do you know you got the victory (Yes, I've Got it)
Well say yes I've got it ((Yes, I've Got it)
Yes I've got it (Yes, I've Got it)
I got in my hands (Yes, I've Got it)
I got it in my heart (Yes, I've Got it)
Oh I've got it (I've got the Victory)
Is there any body here (Yes, I've Got it)
That's going through a storm in your life (I've got the Victory)
But you came out with the victory (Yes, I've Got it)
Sometimes up (I've got the Victory)
And sometimes down (Yes, I've Got it)
Almost leveled (I've got the Victory)
Almost leveled to the ground (Yes, I've Got it)
But look here
Yes I've got it (Yes, I've Got it)
Yes I've got it (Yes, I've Got it)
I've seen many failures (Yes, I've Got it)
And I've suffered indeed (Yes, I've Got it)
But one thing about it (Yes, I've Got it)
No good thing (Yes, I've Got it)
Will he withhold from me (Yes, I've Got it)
Thank God for victory (Yes, I've Got it)
Because the Lord saw fit (Yes, I've Got it)
That after I had suffered awhile (Yes, I've Got it)
He promised me (Yes, I've Got it)
That he would settle me (Yes, I've Got it)
He would establish me (I've got the Victory)
He would strengthen me (Yes, I've Got it)
I've got (I've got the Victory)
I've got the victory (Yes, I've Got it)
Is there anybody here (I've got the Victory)
That can testify tonight (I've got the Victory)
That you got the victory (I've got the Victory)
You know it in your heart (I've got the Victory)
You believe it in your soul (I've got the Victory)
The devil can't take it (I've got the Victory)
The devil can't snatch It (I've got the Victory)
The devil can't move you (I've got the Victory)
You got victory here today (I've got the Victory)
Oh yeah (I've got the Victory)
Say yes I got it (Yes, I've Got it)
I got it on a Monday (Yes, I've Got it)
Tuesday Wednesday and Thursday (Yes, I've Got it)
Friday and Saturday (Yes, I've Got it)
Blessed when I go out (Yes, I've Got it)
And I'm blessed when I'm coming in (Yes, I've Got it)
There's victory all around me (Yes, I've Got it)
Every door that I enter (Yes, I've Got it)
Put your hands together and praise Him if you know you got the victory
If You got it (I got it)
Let me see you wave your hand (I got it)
And if you know it (I got it)
Let me see your leap for joy (I got It)
Rejoice (I got it)
If you got it (I got It)
Rejoice (I got It)
If you got it (I got It)
You made it (I got It)
Through the divorce (I got It)
You made it (I got It)
Through the course (I got It)
If you got it
Begin to shout (I got It)
Speak in tongues,
Clap your hands (I got It)
Do your dance
If you know (I got It)
You got it listen
If you got it (I got It)
Let me see your wave your hand (I got It)
When the devil said no (I got It)
God said yes (I got It)
Yes!!!! (I got It)
You got it (I got It)
