Quietly you lead me to an open place
Hold me in the stillness till I see Your face
Waiting in the silence as You speak my name
Rising like an eagle I will fly
Sweet Victory over the enemy
Gentle Power, all I ever needed
Sweet Victory, I take it finally
Strength for running
It was a long time coming
Sweet Victory
In this place I rest in more than I can see
High above the turbulence You carry me
From deep in a full heart I will speak Your name
Rising like an eagle I will fly
Sweet Victory over the enemy
Gentle Power, all I ever needed
Sweet Victory, I take it finally
Strength for running
It was a long time coming
Sweet Victory
I held so tightly to my fear
There were so many sins repeated
But Your love has brought me here
And the Victory is sweet
Victory is sweet
Sweet Victory over the enemy
Gentle Power, all I ever needed
Sweet Victory, I take it finally
Strength for running
It was a long time coming
Sweet Victory
