We had a retreat this weekend in San Diego and I was introduced to this song…
Hallelujah, you have won the victory (lift up your voice and say now) Hallelujah, you have won it all for me
Death could not hold you down You are the risen king Seated in majesty (yeah) You are the risen king
By his stripes we are healed By his nail pierced hands, we’re free By his blood we’re washed clean Now we have the victory
And The power of sin is broken Jesus overcame it all, yeah, yes he did (He has won) He has won our freedom (yes he has) Jesus has won it all (it all, oh)
Hallelujah (won the victory) you have won the victory (so glad that we’re alive, sing) Hallelujah (you have won it all) you have won it all for me (we sing death could not hold)

I just received an email from Catholic Apologist, John Martignoni, which included a list of allusions to the Deuterocanon (or “Apocrypha” if you’re Protestant). He wasn’t quite sure where he got it from, but I think it’s worth being better known:
April 4th, 2018: Catching Foxes @ Mission San Diego
About the speaker: Luke and Gomer started a podcast to fulfill their obligation as American men in their thirties that work in ministry. Their show, Catching Foxes, oscillates between a conversation about the intersection of faith and culture and interviews with guests that deserve better. Catching Foxes has almost five million downloads. It doesn’t make sense to Luke or Gomer either.
When he’s not woodworking or watching YouTube videos on woodworking, Gomer lives in Houston, TX with his wife Shannon and four kids. When he’s not lamenting the USMNT failure of Oct. 10, 2017, Luke lives in Cincinnati, OH with his wife Erin. To learn more about Catching Foxes, Google it like an adult, or visit CatchingFoxes.fm or follow them on Twitter.
You can subscribe to the San Diego Theology On Tap Podcast using either iTunes or Google Play.
