I KNOW THAT MY
REDEEMER LIVETH
by HELEN STEINER RICE
THEY ASKED ME HOW I KNOW IT'S TRUE
THAT THE SAVIOR LIVED AND DIED
AND IF I BELIEVE THE STORY
THAT THE LORD WAS CRUCIFIED.
AND I HAVE SO MANY ANSWERS
TO PROVE HIS HOLY BEING,
ANSWERS THAT ARE EVERYWHERE
WITHIN THE REALM OF SEEING.
THE LEAVES THAT FELL AT AUTUMN
AND WERE BURIED IN THE SOD,
NOW BUDDING ON THE TREE BOUGHS
TO LIFT THIER ARMS TO GOD.
THE FLOWERS THAT WERE COVERED
AND ENTOMBED BENEATH THE SNOW,
PUSHING THROUGH THE DARKNESS
TO BID THE SPRING HELLO.
ON EVERY SIDE GREAT NATURE
RETELLS THIS MIRACULOUS STORY,
SO WHO AM I TO QUESTION
THE RESURRECTION GLORY?
I TRUST IN YOUR LOVE.
MY HEART IS HAPPY BECAUSE YOU SAVED ME.
I SING TO THE LORD
BECAUSE HE HAS TAKEN CARE OF ME.
PSALM 13:5-6
NCV
AS FOR MAN, HIS DAYS ARE LIKE GRASS;
AS A FLOWER OF THE FIELD, SO HE
FLOURISHES. FOR THE WIND PASSES OVER IT,
AND IT IS GONE, AND ITS PLACE REMEMBERS
IT NO MORE. BUT THE MERCY
OF THE LORD IS FROM EVERLASTING TO
EVERLASTING ON THOSE WHO FEAR HIM.
PSALM 103:15-17

HE IS MERCIFUL AND TENDER TOWARD
THOSE WHO DON'T DESERVE IT; HE IS SLOW
TO GET ANGRY AND FULL OF KINDNESS AND LOVE.

AND GIVES US THE STRENGTH

FROM ME; LET YOUR STEADFAST LOVE AND
YOUR FAITHFULNESS
KEEP ME SAFE FOREVER.
