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.
Refrain
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 conqu'ring
Spirit give,
Make me an
overcomer,
In pow'r 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 pow'r 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 an
overcomer,
A victor to the
last.
