(Introduction)
(Verse 1)
Jesus paid the price and won the victory.
Dying on the cross, He rose to set me free.
Giving up His life in love that I might live forever,
Jesus paid the price and won the victory.
(Verse 2)
Took away my sin and gave me liberty.
Opened up the way to live eternally.
Giving up His life in love that I might live forever,
Took away my sin and gave me liberty.
(Chorus)
And I will honor Him and magnify His name
For all the wonders and the grace He gives to me,
And I will worship Him by offering my life
A living, holy sacrifice.
(Verse 3)
Rising from the dead He set the captives free,
Stormed the gates of Hell and bound our enemy.
Giving up His life in love that I might live forever,
Rising from the dead He set the captives free.
(Chorus)
And I will honor Him and magnify His name
For all the wonders and the grace He gives to me.
And I will worship Him by offering my life
A living, holy sacrifice.
(Short Solo)
(Repeat Verse 1)
Jesus paid the price and won the victory.
Dying on the cross, He rose to set me free.
Giving up His life in love that I might live forever,
Jesus paid the price and won the victory.
(Ending)
Giving up His life in love that I might live forever,
Jesus paid the price and won the victory.
Vic-to-ry, Victory!
