The Singing Cookes Lyrics
"Victory Is Sweet"

Verse 1
When I'm broken from the battle
And I've lost another round,
Satan whispers to my troubled mind
Just lay your armor down.

There are those you loved and trusted
Look around you they're all gone,
Would be easy to surrender ,
when you're standing alone .

Then i bow my head in sadness
As i ponder what to do,
I've been God's army for so long
And I've been a soldier true .
Then i hear a voice from heaven,
Saying pilgrim it is I,
Lift your head and take new courage ,
And turn your eyes towards the sky!

Chorus

And I see a great band of angels , camped all around me
And I see the captain rising up a challenge to me
I know i'm safe from harm , when I trust in Jesus
The battle is his ,
Victory is mine!
Victory is Sweet!
