Lyrics
[Intro]
Oh shall I announce this,
C2C (Coast to Coast) Broadcasting...
Yeah!
Go on now!
[Verse 1]
There was a time
The devil thought he was winning
They took my Jesus
They nailed my Jesus
Stretching Him wide, hanging Him high
They thought He was finished
But they didn't know
You cannot finish God
He could not die
Until He said "it is finished"
Sickness is finished
Salvation is possible
By stripes, you are healed completely
Jesus has won oh!
[Chorus]
Hallelujah, Amen!
Hallelujah, Amen!
Jesus has won oh, Hallelujah, Amen!
Hallelujah, Amen!
Hallelujah, Amen!
Jesus has won oh, Hallelujah, Amen!
Hallelujah, Amen!
Hallelujah, Amen!
Jesus has won oh, Hallelujah, Amen!
Hallelujah, Amen!
Hallelujah, Amen!
Jesus has won oh, Hallelujah, Amen!
[Verse 2]
Jesus has won oh
Joe Praize has won oh
Me and Jesus, we be 5 and 6 oh (Nigerian slang meaning inseparable/close friends)
Because You live, I can face tomorrow
Jesus paid it all for me, I am just enjoying
No need to fear
No need to worry
Everywhere good, the area is clear
By stripes, you are healed completely
New life has come oh, Hallelujah, Amen!
[Chorus]
Jesus has won oh, Hallelujah, Amen!
Hallelujah, Amen!
Hallelujah, Amen!
Jesus has won oh, Hallelujah, Amen!
Hallelujah, Amen!
Hallelujah, Amen!
Jesus has won oh, Hallelujah, Amen!
Hallelujah, Amen!
Hallelujah, Amen!
Jesus has won oh, Hallelujah, Amen!

My Jesus has won, I have the victory!
Jesus has won, I have the victory!
My Jesus has won, I have the victory!
My Jesus has won, I have the victory!
I say my Jesus has won, I have the victory!
Jesus has won, I have the victory!
Jesus has won, I have the victory!
My Jesus has won, I have the victory!
My Jesus has won, I have the victory!
My Jesus has won, I have the victory!

Meaning & Inspiration
Jesus Has Won is a victory song built around the crucifixion of Christ, completed work, and the new life associated with his triumph. The opening verse retells the cross in direct, dramatic language before arriving at the declaration, “It is finished.” From there, the repeated hallelujah refrain turns the narrative into celebration. References to Christ bearing stripes and making salvation possible connect the confidence of the song to biblical descriptions of suffering, healing, and redemption.
The second verse brings that confession into daily life through freedom from fear and hope for tomorrow. Its conversational Nigerian phrasing gives the testimony a distinctly personal and communal energy, while the extended outro keeps returning to victory as the central claim. Rather than dwelling on defeat, the song presents the resurrection as the answer to apparent finality. The result is praise shaped by the conviction that the victory of Christ grants believers courage, salvation, and a renewed identity.
