I Will Sing Unto The Lord (The Victory Song) - Jack Marti

Here's another scripture song by my friend, Jennifer Jill Schwirzer. This one seems to be a favorite among young people, probably because of the liveliness of it. Almost all of my younger guitar students express a desire to learn it. It's really not that hard, only three chords, but it's obviously a good exercise in fast chord changes. It has a strong march rhythm, so is good for teaching rhythm as well. And I love the text! Do you want to be an overcomer? Memorize these verses! Oh, by the way, this song is taken from Exodus 15:1-5 & 2 Corinthians 10:3-5.

I Will sing unto the Lord,
For He hath triumphed gloriously:
The horse and his rider
Hath He thrown into the sea.
The Lord is my strength,
My strength and song
And He is become my salvation!

Refrain:
He is my God,
And I will prepare Him
An habitation;
My father's God,
And I will exalt Him.
The Lord is a Man of war:
The LORD is His name.
And I will exalt Him.
The Lord is a Man of war:
The Lord is His name.

Pharaoh's chariots and his host
Hath He cast into the sea:
His chosen captains also
Are drown in the red sea.
The depths have covered them:
Have covered them: they sank.
They sank into the bottom as a stone. (refrain)

For though we walk in the flesh,
We do not war after the flesh:
For the weapons of our warfare
Are not carnal,
But mighty through God
To the pulling down of strongholds;
To the pulling down of strongholds! (refrain)

Casting down imagination,
And every high thing
That exalteth itself
Against the knowledge of God,
And bringing into captivity
Every thought to the obedience of Christ! (refrain)

@blessedbeJesus Someone told me about this in 1999, and I never did anything about it, though I intended to. Thanks for reminding me! I love the tune to Tzena Tzena Tzena! I was trying to make a video of it tonight, but my voice is not cooperating, so I'll probably do it in the next day or so.

@velvetnotes009 Amen! I look forward to meeting many people in the Kingdom whom I've never met in this world, but whom my life has touched in one way or another. I see myself as a sower of seed, or perhaps a waterer, rather than a harvester of souls. God is merciful in that He allows me to minister to others in this modest way. I am not a great singer, but the songs I sing are powerful and true. May God bless you and keep you as you serve in His vineyard.
