LYRICS: VICTORY IS MINE
(Dorothy Norwood and Alvin Darling)

Victory is mine,
victory is mine,
victory today is mine.

I told Satan to get thee behind,
victory today is mine.

Victory is mine,
victory is mine,
victory today is mine.

I told Satan to get thee behind,
victory today is mine.

Joy is mine,
joy is mine,
I know that joy is mine.

I told Satan to get thee behind,
I know that joy is mine.

Happiness is mine,
happiness is mine,
happiness today is mine.

I told Satan to get thee behind,
happiness today is mine.

When I rose this morning,
I didn't have no doubt,
I knew that the Lord would bring me out.
I fell on my knees,
said, "Lord help me please"
got up singing and shouting “Victory”.*

Victory is mine,
victory is mine,
victory today is mine.

I told Satan to get thee behind,
victory today is mine

Victory is mine,
victory is mine,
victory today is mine.

I told Satan
I told Satan
I told Satan
I told Satan
I told Satan
I told Satan
I told Satan
I told Satan
I told Satan
to get thee behind,
victory today is mine

*This is my correction of that transcript which gives that line as “got up singing and shouting the victory”
-snip-
This song is sometimes sung without the "When I Rose This Morning" verse.
