THIS
I KNOW
I
do not know the depths of love
it took to die on Calvary,
I
do not know the shame and grief
He suffered there to set me free
Nor
can I tell how bitter was His
cup in dark Gethsemane,
The
pain He bore - heartbroken, poor
But
this I know...... He died for me.


I
know not why that for my sins
His blood so freely flowed,
Nor
fathom why the Lord of ALL did
not such cruel death oppose
I
cannot understand the power which won
o'er death and foes,
They
sealed His tomb - 'midst darkening
gloom
But
this I know...... for me He arose !


I
do not know why oft' times skies
are dark and overcast,
Nor
why, in grave temptations, problems seem
so hard... so vast
I
cannot tell what things may come, sore
heartaches my hopes to blast
The
shades of night - obscure the
light
But
this I know...... He'll hold me fast !


This
I know, He died for me
Jesus
Christ my Saviour, my sins to set
free
He
died for me, this I know,
But
Jesus Christ my Saviour..... He arose !
