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.
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 men of sin,
Revealing Jesus through the Word,
Creating faith in Him.
I know not what of good or ill
May be reserved for me,
Of weary ways or 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.
My mom mentioned this song not too long ago, and I'm going to try to memorize all of the verses... I write that so that I really do buckle down and do it! This song is so full of such beautiful truth... As far as being a Christian goes, it's all His doing. He works in us, convicting us of sin. He works faith in us. He keeps that faith. If it were up to us, we'd never be able to do what is required! In all of life with all of its worries, I need to constantly remind myself of that. In His grace is the only place to truly find rest!
