Lyrics
I hear the sound
Of the abundance of rain.
It is coming your way
It's a new day.
(repeat)
For every pain you've endured
Every tear you have cried
Wipe the tears from your eyes
For the victory is won
I know the journey has been long
I see the road it has been tough
Wipe the tears from your eyes
For the victory is won
Victory is won
Heavens are open
Seasons have changed
Victory is won
Victory is won
Sound from the rooftops
Seasons have changed
Victory is won
Victory is won
Heavens are open
Seasons have changed
Victory is won
Victory is won
Sound from the rooftops
Seasons have changed
Victory is won
The siege is frustrated
The wait is over
The battles are fought
The victory is won
Your heavens are open
Your harvest is great
Your miracles abound
The victory is won
Victory is won
Heavens are open
Seasons have changed
Victory is won
Victory is won
Sound from the rooftops
Seasons have changed
Victory is won
Victory is won (victory is won)
Victory is won (victory is won)
Victory is won (victory is won)
Victory is won (victory is won)
Victory is won (victory is won)
There is a truth that we know
Over two thousand years ago
Jesus made an open show
Of hell and its' hosts
The devil is a liar
The blow he got was final
So we lift up a shout
For the victory is won
Victory is won (victory is won)
I can see you celebrating (victory is won)
Victory is won (victory is won)
Victory is won (victory is won)

Meaning & Inspiration
The song announces Christ’s victory as a present source of courage after pain, delay, and spiritual conflict. Images of rain, open heaven, harvest, and celebration give its message the character of public praise. The repeated declaration that victory is won does not rest chiefly on changed circumstances. Its strongest basis appears in the final section, which looks back to Jesus’ triumph over hostile spiritual powers.
That language clearly echoes Colossians 2:15, where Christ disarms rulers and authorities and makes a public spectacle of them through the cross. The opening sound of abundant rain recalls Elijah’s announcement before the drought ended in 1 Kings 18. Together, these images join expectation with a completed work of Christ. The lyric allows tears and a difficult road to be named while refusing to grant them the final word. Repetition makes the song suitable for corporate celebration, with hope anchored in Jesus’ decisive victory rather than in human strength.
