Hymn Chords

511. I Know Whom I Have Believed

Ab                   Db       Ab
I know not why God’s wondrous grace

         Db   Ab   Eb
To me He hath made known,

Eb7 Ab             Db        Ab
Nor why, unworthy, Christ in love

   Eb        Eb7     Ab
Re-deemed me for His own.

       Db                  Ab
But “I know whom I have be-lieved,

           Eb                 Ab
and am per-suaded that His is able

   Db                       Ab
To keep that which I’ve com-mitted

     Eb    Eb7         Ab
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.
