\nHolden<\/span> shares the heart behind the song:
\n
\n\u201c\u2018Victory Once More\u2019 rose from the valleys of my own journey\u2014through seasons of pain and change where the road felt worn and heavy. When my strength was nearly gone, I learned to lift my eyes and trust a faithful God who had carried me before. Even when today feels bleak, Jesus whispers of hope and restoration ahead, reminding me that with every step forward, we are getting closer\u2014closer to victory once more. This journey has taught me that waiting on God is not weakness, but the place where strength is renewed.\u201d<\/i>
\n
\nThe song reflects the promise of\u00a0Isaiah 40:31<\/b>, reminding listeners that those who wait on the Lord will renew their strength and continue moving forward\u2014even when the journey feels slow.
