I Know He's Mine

Johnson Oatman • English

Primary Scripture: Song of Solomon 6:3

Verse 1

There's One above all earthly friends Whose love all earthly love transcends, It is my Lord and Christ divine, My Lord, because I know he's mine.

Chorus

I know he's mine, this friend so dear, He lives with me, he's ever near; Ten thousand charms around him shine, And, best of all, I know he's mine.

Verse 2

He's mine because he died for me, He saved my soul, he set me free; With joy I worship at his shrine And cry, "Praise God, I know he's mine."

Chorus

I know he's mine, this friend so dear, He lives with me, he's ever near; Ten thousand charms around him shine, And, best of all, I know he's mine.

Verse 3

He's mine because he's in my heart, And never, never will we part; Just as the branch is to the vine I'm joined to Christ; I know he's mine.

Chorus

I know he's mine, this friend so dear, He lives with me, he's ever near; Ten thousand charms around him shine, And, best of all, I know he's mine.

Verse 4

Some day upon the streets of gold Mine eyes his glory shall behold, Then, while his arms around me twine, I'll cry for joy, "I know he's mine."

Chorus

I know he's mine, this friend so dear, He lives with me, he's ever near; Ten thousand charms around him shine, And, best of all, I know he's mine.
