I Know in My Heart What It Means

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.

R: 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.

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.

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.

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.
