The lyrics of the song "Daß Jesus siegt, bleibt ewig ausgemacht" by
Kirchenlieder express the belief that Jesus will always triumph. The text emphasizes that Jesus rules over the whole world and that everything was entrusted into his hands after his death.
The text also uses the image of battle to show that Jesus triumphs despite the difficulties that his people face. "Yes, Jesus triumphs, even though the people of the Lord are still prostrate. Even if Satan's arrows fly cunningly from near and far, Jesus' arm extinguishes the fires; the Lord keeps the field in the end." This shows that Jesus is capable of repelling Satan's attacks and ultimately achieving victory.
The text also speaks of the hope that Jesus will free all creatures from their chains in the end. "Thus, in the end, the Lord will deliver all creatures from their chains." This expresses the conviction that Jesus will put an end to any kind of oppression and bondage.
The text ends with the expression of faith and devotion to Jesus. "Yes, Jesus triumphs! We believe it firmly and, believing, we fight. As you guide us through all darkness, we follow you, Jesus, for everything must bow before you, until the last enemy is silenced. Yes, Jesus triumphs!" This shows that believers are ready to fight for Jesus and follow him, as they are convinced that he will ultimately triumph.
