The Cyber Hymnal ‎#4467

4467. My Soul Will Overcome

1. Helpless I come to Jesus’ blood,
And all myself resign;
I lose my weakness in that flood,
And gather strength divine.

Refrain
My soul will overcome by the blood of the Lamb,
My soul will overcome by the blood of the Lamb;
Overcome, overcome,
Overcome by the blood of the Lamb.

2. ’Tis Jesus gives me life within,
And nerves me for the fray;
He spoiled the hosts of death and sin,
And took their pow’r away. [Refrain]

3. Tho’ clouds of conflict hide my view,
And foes are fierce and strong,
In Jesus’ name I’ll struggle thro’,
And enter Heav’n with song. [Refrain]
