Victory

Victory (from Latin victoria) is a term, originally applied to warfare, given to success achieved in personal combat, after military operations in general or, by extension, in any competition. Success in a military campaign is considered a strategic victory, while the success in a military engagement is a tactical victory.

In terms of human emotion, victory is accompanied with strong feelings of elation, and in human behaviour is often accompanied with movements and poses paralleling threat display preceding the combat, associated with the excess endorphin built up preceding and during combat. Victory dances and victory cries similarly parallel war dances and war cries performed before the outbreak of physical violence. Examples of victory behaviour reported in Roman antiquity, where the term originates, are the victory songs of the Batavi mercenaries serving under Gaius Julius Civilis after the victory over Quintus Petillius Cerialis in the Batavian rebellion of 69 AD (according to Tacitus), and also the "abominable song" to Wodan, sung by the Lombards at their victory celebration in 579. The sacrificial animal was a goat, around whose head the Langobard danced in a circle while singing their victory hymn (see also Oslac). In the Roman Republic, victories were celebrated by triumph ceremonies and monuments such as victory columns (e.g. Trajan's Column). A trophy is a token of victory taken from the defeated party, such as the enemy's weapons (spolia), or body parts (as in the case of head hunters).

In Jesus

In Jesus is the eighth studio album from Phatfish, released 4 June 2009. The album has been described by Cross Rhythms Christian magazine and radio as having "a slightly rockier edge than recent albums" that sees them "closer to the classic sound of their best selling albums Heavenbound and Nothing But The Truth whilst still maintaining the beautiful worship feel that pervades their music".

This album was the first since the addition of two new guitarists, Jos Wintermeyer and Ben Hall to the lineup in early 2009, and featured 10 entirely new songs. Ben and Jos both contribute to two songs each on the album, working with Lou and Nathan Fellingham respectively.

The band describe the album as "pumping" and "rhythmic" with soaring vocals from Lou Fellingham alongside sensitive and biblical lyrics.

The album reached number 3 on the Cross Rhythms sales charts, and Guaranteed climbed to 19 in the charts the same month.

Live

The release of the album was followed up with a tour starting at the Sound nightclub in London, leading onto Brighton, Woodbridge, Peterborough, Bromley and Norwich. The live shows feature songs from both 'In Jesus' and the back catalogue.

My Savior

"My Savior" is a Christian rock song sung by Christian rock/pop singer Krystal Meyers. It was composed by Krystal Meyers and Ian Eskelin, and appears on her self-titled debut album. It was included in Dance Praise Christian Video Game - Pop and Rock Hits Expansion Pack, Release Date: Oct. 17, 2006.

About "My Savior"

The song "My Savior" has had its effect on people: Krystal speaks about how someone who heard "My Savior" on the radio one day decided to not kill himself. "Right as he was about to pull the trigger my song “My Savior” came on the radio. It caught his ear, and he dropped the gun and dropped to his knees crying, 'God, what am I doing?' Right then and there he gave his heart to the Lord. He turned his life around."

Jesus

Jesus (/ˈdʒiːzəs/; Greek: Ἰησοῦς Iesous; 7–2 BC to AD 30–33), also referred to as Jesus of Nazareth or Jesus Christ, is the central figure of Christianity, whom the teachings of most Christian denominations hold to be the Son of God. Christians believe Jesus is the awaited Messiah (or Christ, the Anointed One) of the Old Testament.

Virtually all modern scholars of antiquity agree that Jesus existed historically, and historians consider the Synoptic Gospels (Matthew, Mark and Luke) to be the best sources for investigating the historical Jesus. Most scholars agree that Jesus was a Galilean, Jewish rabbi who preached his message orally,was baptized by John the Baptist, and was crucified by the order of the Roman Prefect Pontius Pilate. In the current mainstream view, Jesus was an apocalyptic preacher and the founder of a renewal movement within Judaism, although some prominent scholars argue that he was not apocalyptic. After Jesus' death, his followers believed he was resurrected, and the community they formed eventually became the Christian church. The widely used calendar era, abbreviated as "AD" from the Latin "Anno Domini" ("in the year of our Lord") or sometimes as "CE", is based on the birth of Jesus. His birth is celebrated annually on December 25 as a holiday known as Christmas.
