Victory Through Christ
We Have Overcome is a worship song credited to Israel Houghton and Meleasa Houghton and published by Integrity’s Praise! Music and Sound of the New Breed with copyright dated 2007. The song appears in worship catalogs and sheet music listings with those credits and has been used widely in church worship contexts because of its strong declaration of victory through Jesus’ name. 1
The track was included on the 2-CD collection album Decade by Israel Houghton & New Breed, released in March 2012, which highlights key songs from a decade of Houghton’s worship music. We Have Overcome sits among other well-known praise and worship songs on that album, reflecting themes of triumph, praise, and gratitude to God. 2
A review of the Decade collection notes that the album’s mix of gospel and contemporary worship includes We Have Overcome as an upbeat song of victory with repeated refrains of “hallelujah,” simple structure, and energetic worship style typical of Israel & New Breed’s music on that record. 3
