Victory in Jesus (Christ Won the Victory)

Eugene Bartlett wrote many gospel and country songs. This one was written during a very dark time for him. In 1939, when he was 53, he suffered a paralyzing stroke and could not walk or talk. As he thought of Christ's love for him over his whole life, he wrote this song of redemption and victory in Christ, the healer of body and soul. He filled the lyrics with hope and joy.
The family that owns the publishing rights of this song visited our home in Nashville and asked whether we would like to refresh and refocus the lyrics for families and churches today. We were very honored to do so, and Matt Boswell helped. We launched this new version at the 2024 Sing! Conference in Nashville.
