Tye Tribbett - Victory Lyrics
Lyrics
(Verse 1)
I thought I lost, but actually I won
For by His blood we all have overcome
There is no failure, our God can never loose
And that same power, it now belongs to You
(Chorus)
Now it's time to celebrate all banners raised
(I've got the VICTORY, the VICTORY)
Because the devil is defeated and God be praised
(I've got the VICTORY, the VICTORY)
Every situation I face, I win
(I've got the VICTORY, the VICTORY)
And everything works for my good in the end
(I've got the VICTORY, the VICTORY)
(Verse 2)
I was on my way to a burning hell
The devil, he had my life set up to fail
But thanks be to my God who causes me to triumph, overcome, tread upon the enemy
(Chorus)
Now it's time to celebrate all banners raised
(I've got the VICTORY, the VICTORY)
Because the devil is defeated and God be praised
(I've got the VICTORY, the VICTORY)
Every situation I face, I win
(I've got the VICTORY, the VICTORY)
And everything works for my good in the end
(I've got the VICTORY, the VICTORY)
(Verse 3)
Somebody who's listening right now You think You're losing
You feel like You can't win 'cause You tried everything
Greater is He that is within You don't doubt
'Cause whatever You're in now, God says
You have to come out
(Chorus)
Now it's time to celebrate all banners raised
(I've got the VICTORY, the VICTORY)
Because the devil is defeated and God be praised
(I've got the VICTORY, the VICTORY)
Every situation I face, I win
(I've got the VICTORY, the VICTORY)
And everything works for my good in the end
(I've got the VICTORY, the VICTORY)

Victory - Tye Tribbett & G.A.
Meaning & Inspiration
Tye Tribbett's powerful anthem, "Victory," released in 2007 as part of the album *Bobby Jones Gospel: Faith Unscripted, Vol. 1*, is a resounding declaration of spiritual triumph that resonates deeply within the Christian faith. The song’s core message is built upon the foundational belief that through Christ's sacrifice, believers have already secured a definitive victory over sin, death, and the adversarial forces of evil. Tribbett articulates this profound truth by contrasting perceived personal setbacks with the ultimate, unshakeable victory granted by God. He asserts that for those who trust in Him, there is no true failure because God’s power is absolute and, remarkably, is now accessible to the believer. This perspective shifts the paradigm from one of struggle and defeat to one of inherent, God-given success, echoing the Apostle Paul's declaration in Romans 8:37, which states, "Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us." The song directly addresses the spiritual warfare faced by individuals, acknowledging past struggles and the deceptive nature of the enemy who seeks to lead people astray, referencing the experience of being "on the way to a burning hell" before divine intervention. However, the overarching narrative is one of deliverance and the power to "triumph, overcome, [and] tread upon the enemy," aligning with scriptures like 1 John 4:4, which reassures believers, "Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you than he that is in the world." "Victory" serves as an exhortation to celebrate this hard-won freedom, to raise banners of praise, and to recognize that every challenge encountered is ultimately a stepping stone towards God’s perfect plan, where "everything works for [our] good in the end," a direct nod to Romans 8:28. The repeated affirmation, "I've got the VICTORY," is not a statement of personal prowess but a confident acknowledgment of God’s indwelling strength, reminding listeners that the power to overcome is not external but resides within them through the Holy Spirit, as reinforced by 1 John 5:4: "For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith." Tribbett’s fervent delivery amplifies the song’s inspiring call to reject doubt and embrace the assurance that, regardless of present circumstances, God’s promise of overcoming is a tangible reality for those who believe.
