I Know in My Heart What It Means

Verse 1

When I read how my Savior was nailed to the cross, For the sins of the world to atone, Oh, I feel so unworthy such suff’ring and loss, For I know in my heart what it means.

Chorus

I know in my heart what it means, Salvation, that word so divine; His Spirit has witnessed to mine, And I know in my heart what it means.

Verse 2

When the gospel is preached in the name of the Lord By the Spirit sent down from above, My soul thrills with joy at the sound of His word, For I know in my heart what it means.

Verse 3

When the sweet songs of Zion are floating above, And the saints all rejoice in the Lord, I am happy in Jesus, and lost in His love, For I know in my heart what it means.

Verse 4

And when others proclaim that salvation is free, When they tell of the soul-cleansing blood, I, too, can rejoice, for He’s sanctified me, And I know in my heart what it means.
