Lyrics
Grace, You've shown me grace
You've lifted my shame
Drawn me with loving kindness
Washed whiter than snow
You have redeemed and made me whole
Jesus, You have won me You have broken every
Chain with love and mercy You have triumphed over
Death and You are worthy of glory and praise
Love, You've shown me love
By leaving Your throne
By bleeding and dying on a cross
That wonderful cross
That took all my guilt and sin away
Shout it out and lift up one voice in worship
Sing it out until all the earth can hear it
Jesus is alive and He saves, He rescues and saves

Meaning & Inspiration
You Have Won Me centers on redemption accomplished through Jesus’ grace, love, death, and victory. Shame is lifted, guilt and sin are removed, and the worshiper is described as washed, redeemed, and restored to wholeness. The phrase about being drawn with loving kindness presents salvation as a gracious act rather than a human achievement, while the image of being washed whiter than snow recalls biblical prayers for cleansing.
The chorus moves from personal rescue to praise, declaring that Jesus has broken chains through love and mercy and triumphed over death. The second verse grounds that rescue in Christ leaving his throne and dying on the cross. Its final call for one united voice to proclaim that Jesus is alive broadens the song from private gratitude into public worship. The lyrics consistently connect forgiveness with the cross and hope with the resurrection, making the song a clear celebration of Christ’s saving work and worthiness to receive glory and praise.
