Yes I Know
Jimmy Swaggart Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Jesus' blood can make you free;
For He saved the worst among you,
When He saved a wretch like me.
And I know, yes, I know
Jesus' blood can make the vilest sinner clean,
And I know, yes, I know
To the faint He giveth power,
Through the mountains makes a way;
Findeth water in the desert,
Turns the night to golden day.
And I know, yes, I know
Jesus' blood can make the vilest sinner clean,
And I know, yes, I know
Jesus' blood can make the vilest sinner clean.
He will keep thee while the ages
Roll throughout eternity;
Though earth hinders and hell rages,
All must work for good to thee.
And I know, yes, I know
Jesus' blood can make the vilest sinner clean,
And I know, yes, I know
Jesus' blood can make the vilest sinner clean.
In these lyrics, Jimmy Swaggart presents a message of redemption, hope, and transformation through the power of Jesus' blood. He addresses the "sinners, lost and hopeless" who feel like they can never be saved. He assures them that even the worst of sinners can be redeemed by Jesus' blood. This message is based on the idea that Jesus died on the cross to pay for the sins of humanity, and through faith in Him, anyone can be cleansed of their sins and start a new life.
The second part of the lyrics talks about the power of Jesus to give strength, direction, and hope to those who follow him. He can give power to the faint, make a way through the mountains, find water in the desert and turn night into day. These metaphors refer to the various struggles, obstacles, and challenges that people face in life. The message is that Jesus can help people overcome any obstacle and lead them to a better life.
The last part of the lyrics speaks to the eternal nature of salvation and the assurance that those who follow Jesus will be kept safe throughout eternity. Regardless of the difficulties and adversities they face on earth, they will ultimately have a happy ending. In this way, Swaggart's song offers a message of hope and assurance to those struggling with sin and the challenges of life.

on Camel Train
Here are the lyrics, transcribed from the reverend's moving performance of this inspired song.
Camel Train
'Twas a day in early springtime
by an ancient wayside well
Eliezer paused to rest his camel train
He had found a bride for Isaac
ere the evening shadows fall
for his weary journey had not been in vain
So he took the fair Rebekah
dressed in jewels rich and rare
quickly to her waiting bridegroom far away
Where Rebekah loved her Isaac
and he loved Rebekah fair
Oh it must have been a happy wedding day
(Chorus:)
Oh, get ready
the evening shadows fall
Don't you hear the Eliezer call
There's going to be a wedding
Our joys will soon begin
In the evening when the camel train comes in
(Verse:)
Now the blessed Holy Spirit
from Our Father God above
has come down to Earth to find a worthy bride
For our Isaac over yonder
he's prepared his tents of love
and he wants his fair Rebekah by his side
We've left our kinfolk gladly
We've bade the world goodbye
We've been called to be his pure and spotless bride
Where we'll soon behold King Jesus
in that blessed eternity
What a happy, happy wedding that will be
(Repeat chorus)
