I Know That my Redeemer Lives

1. I know that my Redeemer lives,
and ever prays for me;
a token of his love he gives,
a pledge of liberty.

2. I find him lifting up my head;
he brings salvation near;
his presence makes me free indeed
and he will soon appear.

3. He wills that I should holy be:
who can withstand his will?
The counsel of his grace in me
he surely shall fulfil.

4. Jesus, I hang upon your Word:
I steadfastly believe
you will return and claim me, Lord,
and to yourself receive.

I Know that My Redeemer Liveth

1. I know that my Redeemer liveth,
And on the earth again shall stand;
I know eternal life He giveth,
That grace and power are in His hand.

Chorus:
I know, I know that Jesus liveth,
And on the earth again shall stand;
I know, I know that life He giveth,
That grace and power are in His hand.

2. I know His promise never faileth,
The word He speaks, it cannot die;
Tho’ cruel death my flesh assaileth,
Yet I shall see Him by and by.

3. I know my mansion He prepareth,
That where He is there I may be;
Oh, wondrous thought, for me He careth,
And He at last will come for me.

I know whom I have believed

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 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 wrought peace within my heart.

I know not how the Spirit moves, convincing us of sin,
revealing Jesus through the word, creating faith in him.

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.
