This I Know

This I Know
This I know – my faith is strong and
Though I fear, I’m not alone.
This I know – the sword in my hand
Is greater than I can own.
This I know – the battle will be
Won, and I will quit the field.
This I know – though I fight, not me
But my God, this sword will wield.
This I know – that my Commander
Is worthy of all my trust.
This I know – I’ll ne’er surrender
Till my body’s turned to dust.
This I know – the war I’m fighting
Holds no glory for my name.
This I know – while I’m abiding
In my God, there is no shame.
This I know – the end is coming
And when here, I will be free.
This I know – the day is dawning
With a promised Rest for me.
This I know – though I am weary
My God holds my arm up high.
This I know – my great Enemy
Can never make my soul die.
This I know – that midst the battle
There’ll be time to pray and sing.
This I know – that though I struggle
To believe, my God will win.
This I know – I have a Brother
Who knows my pain and feels my cross
This I know – the war’s not over
Till He’s won and purged my dross.
This I know – my soul may falter
And my steps recede in fear,
But this I know – I’m on the altar
And my God is with me here.
