I Know
Michael Sweet Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm not skilled to understand
What God hath willed, what God hath planned, what God hath planned
I only know at His right hand
Stands the One who is my Savior
I take Him at His word indeed
Christ died to save me this I read, oh this I read
And in my heart I find the need
Of Him to be My Savior
[Chorus:]
I know, I know
Living, dying, let me bring
My strength, my solice from this spring
I know, I know
That He who lives to be my King
Once died to be my Savior, I know
All that He fulfilled may see
The travail of His soul in me, His soul in me
And with His work contented be
As I am with my Savior
I take Him at His word indeed
Christ died to save me this I read, oh this I read




And in my heart I find the need
Of Him to be my Savior
