Hymn Chords

511. I Know Whom I Have Believed

D                    G        D
I know not why God’s wondrous grace

         G    D    A
To me He hath made known,

A7  D              G         D
Nor why, unworthy, Christ in love

   A         A7      D
Re-deemed me for His own.

       G                   D
But “I know whom I have be-lieved,

           A                  D
and am per-suaded that His is able

   G                        D
To keep that which I’ve com-mitted

     A     A7          D
Unto Him a-gainst that day.”


[[Full 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.

[Refrain]
But “I know whom I have believed, 
and am persuaded that His is able
To keep that which I’ve committed
Unto Him against that day.”

[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 men of sin,
Revealing Jesus through the word,
Creating faith in Him.

[Verse 4]
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.
