"At the cross, Your work was finished
You were buried in the ground
But the grave could not contain You
For You wear the victor's crown."
- Darlene Zschech, "Victor's Crown"
I recently purchased two new CD's I've been listening to - Jesus Firm Foundation: Hymns of Worship and Revealing Jesus by Darlene Zschech. I have had these replaying for quite some time, and they are some of the best inspirational music I've listened to recently. I have always been a fan of Darlene's "Worthy Is the Lamb" song. But her "Victor's Crown" is not only lyricly powerful, but instrumentally inspiring. It just brings chills every time I hear it on the radio.
It is even more powerful, in that this song has a strong scriptural background, but also a story of overcoming in Darlene's life. She was diagnosed with breast cancer in December 2013. And to me, having my own grandmother go through this trial, it is of no greater strength than to know that in Christ we can have that same "Victor's Crown" and overcome through his strength.
