Verse 1
I see hope found in Your name
Patient in my weakness You wait
Christ my Savior's love displayed
Even in my failure You came

There is peace found here
In the waiting You are working

You are God in faith
You are God when I fear
You are strength in the battle
Oh I know that victory is near

I see freedom from my chains
Grace that leaves no room for my shame
Outstretched hands that hold no blame
Lift me by the power of Your Name

Jesus You have conquered the grave
Chorus
You are God in faith
You are God when I fear
You are strength in the battle
Oh I know that victory is near

Oh He's near

My faith is rising over my fear
I feel it shifting now Your Spirit's falling here
I'll shout it louder victory's near
Heaven is singing out changing the atmosphere

Meaning & Inspiration
"Victory Is Near" places faith in the tension between present weakness and confidence in God’s work. The opening verses acknowledge failure, shame, fear, and waiting without treating them as the final word. Instead, the lyrics point to Christ’s love, grace, and strength as the ground for endurance. The declaration that God is present both in faith and in fear keeps the song focused on dependence rather than self-confidence.
The repeated certainty that victory is near gains its Christian shape from the tag about Jesus conquering the grave. That resurrection focus turns the battle language away from personal triumph and toward the victory God gives. As the bridge moves from fear to rising faith, the song portrays worship as a response to difficulty and delay. Hope, peace, and freedom are thus rooted in God’s presence, Christ’s grace, and the assurance of resurrection.
