I Know Whom I Have Believed

Music by James McGranahan, words by Daniel W. Whittle; chorus, 2 Timothy 1:12

I know not why God's wondrous grace
To me He has made known,
Nor why, unworthy, Christ in love
Redeemed me for His own.

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

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

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

I know not what of good or pain
May be reserved for me,
Of weary ways or golden days,
Before His face I see.

I know not when my Lord may come,
I know not how nor where,
Nor if I'll walk through death with Him,
Or "meet Him in the air."
