[Verse 1]
  G                D          Em7
I still recall the day that I was chosen
     C              D       G
As a soldier in the army of the Lord
    D            B            Em7
All suited in my armor with a special sword beside me
C                          D
Fashioned by the Spirit and the Word
          G            D           Em7
It wasn’t long until I faced the adversary
  C               D         G
A surprising blow took me to my knees
      D                    B7
But a young and frightened warrior
      Em
found strength to rise for battle
C                          D
Remembering the word given to me


[Chorus]
          G       D
Expect to win
         Em7      D
Expect a victory
        C            G
We have never been defeated
   Dsus4           D
Or considered to retreat
             C                D
Lift up your head, for your redemption
   Em   D  C
Is nigh to thee
          Am     D           G       D     Em
Expect to win. Expect a victory.


[Verse 2]
C        G            D          Em7
On mount Calvary, the son of God almighty
        C             G
Faced a conflict that He alone could win
       D                B            Em
It was there he met the master of all evil
     C
In a battle that would change the course
Dsus4    D
Of man
                        D
Many standing there who watched
           Em7
the savior dying
   C                 D               G
In disbelief thought it would be the end
          D            B
But as he cried, “it’s finished,”
        Em
satan’s kingdom was defeated
C                       D
Overthrown to never rise again


[Chorus]
          G       D
Expect to win
         Em7      D
Expect a victory
        C            G
We have never been defeated
   Dsus4           D
Or considered to retreat
             C                D
Lift up your head, for your redemption
   Em   D  C
Is nigh to thee
          Am     D           G
Expect to win. Expect a victory.


[Bridge]
Em             D
Called to be a soldier
C            G
Raised up to stand
C          D              G
Led by the captain of our souls
C                D
Equipped to be a conqueror
B               Em
Enlisted to the end
Asus4              A               D
A mission for this time so long ago


[Chorus]
          G       D
Expect to win
         Em7      D
Expect a victory
        C            G

Expect a victory
        D                  A
We have never been defeated
      Esus4        E
Or considered to retreat
             D               E
Lift up your head for your redemption
   F#m  E  D
Is nigh to thee
          Bm     E           A   F#m E
Expect to win, expect a victory
          D      E           F#m     E
Expect to win, expect a victory
          D      E           A
Expect to win, expect a victory
