VERSE 1
Take heart where there is trouble
This world belongs to Him
Rely upon the words of Christ the King
He said there would be trials
But He has overcome
The battle is the Lord’s and He has won

VERSE 2
Take heart where there is failure
Where sin fights for a hold
Rely upon the power of His blood
There is no condemnation
For Jesus paid it all
So praise the God of mercy, oh my soul

CHORUS
On the cross He stormed the prison
By His death He broke the bars
When He rose He freed His children from the dark
And He bound the great deceiver
And He leads me in His love
Praise God, in Christ we too have overcome

VERSE 3
Take heart where there is sorrow
In sickness and in death
Rely upon the peace that He has sent
He promises a future
Where joy will never cease
And there I know a home awaits for me

REPEAT CHORUS

BRIDGE
He is risen and He reigns
It is finished it is done
So take heart, He has overcome
Yes the victory we need
Is the victory He won
So take heart, He has overcome
In Christ we have overcome
