I dare not be defeated
|
|
| 1. | I dare not be defeated |
| | With Calvary in view, |
| | Where Jesus conquered Satan, |
| | Where all His foes He slew; |
| | Come, Lord, and give the vision |
| | To nerve me for the fight, |
| | Make me an overcomer, |
| | Clothed with Thy Spirit's might. |
| | A victor, a victor! |
| | Because of Calvary. |
| | Make me an overcomer, |
| | A conqu'ror, a conqu'ror, Lord, in |
| | Thee. |
| 2. | I dare not be defeated |
| | Since Christ, my conquering King |
| | Has called me to the battle |
| | Which He did surely win. |
| | Come, Lord, and give me courage, |
| | Thy conquering Spirit give, |
| | Make me an overcomer, |
| | In power within me live. |
| 3. | I dare not be defeated, |
| | When Jesus leads me on |
| | To press through hellish regions |
| | To share with Him His Throne; |
| | Come, Lord, and give Thy soldier |
| | The power to wield the sword, |
| | Make me an overcomer |
| | Through Thine inerrant Word. |
| 4. | I dare not be defeated, |
| | Just at the set of sun, |
| | When Jesus waits to whisper, |
| | "Well done, beloved, well done"; |
| | Come, Lord, bend from the Glory, |
| | On me Thy Spirit cast, |
| | Make me and overcomer, |
| | A victor to the last. |
