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.
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.
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.
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 an overcomer
A victor to the last.
