Jeremy Camp - Overcome

Not many 8 minute songs become very popular in today's culture. Back in the heyday of rock bands like Led Zeppelin, Lynyrd Skynyrd, The Allman Brothers, Boston, The Who, The Doors, etc. there were many more longer (6+ minutes) than even now. Out of the iTunes Top 200 there is only 1 song that is 6+ minutes in length. Yes. One. Going a step further, I can't think of many Christian songs that are 6 minutes or longer besides some (many) Hillsong hits. But this one from Jeremy Camp, which actually came out two years ago this month is an instant classic. I've been waiting for months to share this with my students and Jeremy finally came through with a video. And what a great video it is. I don't have a lot to share besides the lyrics you see below as well as the video itself. I think it speaks for itself. 

Lyrics
Seated above, enthroned in the Father's love
Destined to die, poured out for all mankind
God's only Son, perfect and spotless one
He never sinned but suffered as if He did

[Bridge]
All authority
Every victory is Yours
All authority
Every victory is Yours

[Chorus]
Savior, worthy of honor and glory
Worthy of all our praise, You overcame
Jesus, awesome in power forever
Awesome and great is Your name, You overcame

Power in hand speaking the Father's plan
You're sending us out, light in this broken land

Bridge + Chorus

We will overcome by the blood of the Lamb
And the word of our testimony, everyone overcome (x4)

Chorus
