Lyrics

Verse 1
I know not why God’s won­drous grace
To me He hath made known,
Nor why, un­wor­thy, Christ in love
Redeemed me for His own. (Tit. 2:14)

Chorus
But I know whom I have be­liev­èd, (II Tim. 1:12)
And am per­suad­ed that He is able (II Tim. 1:12)
To keep that which I’ve com­mit­ted (II Tim. 1:12)
Unto Him against that day. (II Tim. 1:12)

Verse 2
I know not how this sav­ing faith
To me He did im­part, (Eph. 2:8)
Nor how be­liev­ing in His Word
Wrought peace with­in my heart. (Rom. 5:1)

Verse 3
I know not how the Spir­it moves,
Convincing us of sin, (John 16:8)
Revealing Je­sus through the Word,
Creating faith in Him. (Rom. 10:17, Tit. 3:5)

Verse 4
I know not what of good or ill
May be re­served for me,
Of wea­ry ways or gold­en days,
Before His face I see. (I Cor. 13:12, Rev. 22:4)

Verse 5
I know not when my Lord may come,
At night or noon­day fair,
Nor if I walk the vale with Him, (Ps. 23:4)
Or meet Him in the air. (I Thess. 4:17)
