Key of Eb · 100 BPM · 4/4 · Assurance,Calmness,Discipleship · 2Tim 1:12

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.

Verse 2

I know not how this saving faith To me He did impart,
Nor how believing in His Word Wrought peace within my heart.

Verse 3

I know not how the Spirit moves, Convincing us of sin,
Revealing Jesus through the Word, Creating faith in Him.

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.

Verse 5

I know not when my Lord may come, At night or noonday fair,
Nor if I walk the vale with Him, Or meet Him in the air.

Chorus

But I know Whom I have believèd, And am persuaded that He is able
To keep that which I've committed Unto Him against that day.
