Lyrics

**Verse 1** On a day like today—where hope cannot be found— On a day when everyone tells me—“You’re gonna make it through.”— But I don’t even have the strength—to go around! As the battle rages on—when I only want to hear—the victor’s song— I can tell you now—I’m just not sure—how much further I can get along. **Verse 2** When every breath and movement—becomes a new fight— When every memory and motion— Has nearly left me—they have taken their flight. When mercy doesn’t seem to want to step in— When my patience is wearing so very thin— **Pre-Chorus** I reach deep within—and remember it is about a loss or win— For on the cross—Jesus paid it all— He didn’t just die—for my sin. **Chorus** Ohhhhh—Jesus paid it all—for me and everyone. He didn’t just die—for my sins to atone. He took every stripe—so I could heal— He took every pain—so I’d know he could feel— Everything that was done to Him on that tree— Should have been done to me— And whether here on earth my victory is won— Or in Heaven—after all is said and done— Jesus paid it all— for me and each and everyone. **Verse 4** There are days—when wonder comes to my mind— And I wonder if more time—I’ll be able to find. Each day—I am tempted to say— It might be best if I’m on my way— But for me—the only possibility— Is to know Jesus isn’t through with me— And while Heaven is surely a wonderful place— Everyday that I am here—I see His face and feel His grace— So when it’s time for me to go— Jesus said—that him and me—would be the first to know! **Chorus** Ohhhhh—Jesus paid it all—for me and everyone. He didn’t just die—for my sins to atone. He took every stripe—so I could heal— He took every pain—so I’d know he could feel— Everything that was done to Him on that tree— Should have been done to me— And whether here on earth my victory is won— Or in Heaven—after all is said and done— Jesus paid it all— for me and each and everyone. **Tag** Ohhhhh—I know— Heaven is surely a wonderful place— And Everyday that I am there— I will see His face and feel His grace— But what I also truly know— That when it’s time for me to go— Jesus said—that him and me—would be the first to know!

A Victor’s Song

Read together: 2 Corinthians 12:7–10; Romans 8:31–39; Revelation 21:1–5

Have you ever heard someone say, “You're going to make it,” when you weren't sure you had enough strength left for the next hour?

Sometimes encouragement comes from people who love us, but they cannot feel the weight we are carrying. They do not know what it costs just to get up, to breathe through pain, or to face another day that looks exactly like yesterday. If that sounds familiar, please know that the Bible does not ask you to pretend suffering is easy.

Paul pleaded with the Lord three times for his affliction to be taken away. Read 2 Corinthians 12:7–10. The answer he received was not the removal he had asked for. It was Christ's assurance that His grace was sufficient and His strength was made perfect in weakness. That is not a command to enjoy suffering. It is a promise that weakness does not put you beyond the reach of Jesus.

Maybe you are waiting to hear a victory song while all you can hear is the struggle. There is room to tell God exactly that. The Psalms are full of people crying out from places of fear and exhaustion. And Romans 8 does not say believers will never face hardship; it says hardship cannot separate those who belong to Christ from His love.

Would you be willing to try something today? Instead of asking yourself to feel victorious, ask Jesus for enough grace for the next faithful step. Call someone you trust if you need help. Let another believer pray with you. Rest if your body needs rest. Faithfulness can look very quiet.

A moment to respond: Read Romans 8:35–39 aloud. Notice what the passage names—trouble, danger, suffering—and what it says none of those things can do. Then tell the Lord where you most need His sustaining grace.

Let's pray: Jesus, You know the battles nobody else sees. Meet the exhausted person reading this. Give courage for the next step, wise people to stand beside them, and assurance that Your love has not loosened its hold. Where healing or relief is needed, we ask for Your mercy; where the road remains hard, sustain us with Your grace. Amen.

Our desire at UnrelentingJesus is not to tell you that your pain is small. It is to remind you that Jesus is greater, and that you do not have to carry today's burden without Him.
