I Know Not Why

I know not why God's wondrous grace
To me hath been made known
Nor why, unworthy as I am
He claimed 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
Or how believing in His word
Brought peace within my heart.

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 the Spirit moves
Convincing men of sin
Revealing Jesus through the Word
Creating faith in Him.

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 what of good or ill
May be reserved for me,
Of weary ways, of golden days,
Before His face I see.

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."

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."
