I Shall Overcome!

         To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God...
         Be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life... He that overcometh shall not be hurt by the second death...
         He that overcometh, and keepeth my works unto the end, to him will I give power over the nations; and he shall rule them with a rod of iron...
         He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels....
         Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God,... and I will write upon him the name of my God and the name of the city of my God, which is New Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God: and I will write upon him my new name."

---John (excerpts from Revelation chapters 2 and 3) KJV

I SHALL OVERCOME

I shall overcome!
I shall overcome!
Because of Your great love for me,
I shall overcome!

The pleasures of this sinful world
That moves to Satan's drum,
Are conquered by Your gift of faith!
Now, I shall overcome!

I shall conquer! I shall eat
Fruit from Your Holy Tree.
The Tree of Life in Paradise
You've planted there for me.

I shall overcome!
I shall overcome!
Because of Your great love for me,
I shall overcome!

I'll be faithful to the end,
Be freed from worldly strife.
The second death will do no harm,
I'll gain the Crown of Life.

By grace I'll always serve You, Lord,
Until my breath lies still.
I'll rise and reign with You by grace,
Your plan for me fulfilled.

I shall overcome!
I shall overcome!
Because of Your great love for me,
I shall overcome!

My name will not be blotted from
The Lamb's own Book of Life.
To angels and to God above,
I'll be displayed in white.

Your temple pillar I will be,
To dwell always with Thee.
The name of New Jerusalem,
And Your new name on me.

I shall overcome!
I shall overcome!
Because of Your great love for me,
I shall overcome!
