I Only Know It Reaches Me

I know not why God’s won­drous grace

To all the world He of­fers free;

Nor why His love shall nev­er cease

I on­ly know it reach­es me.

It on­ly me

it on­ly me

God’s grace so wondrous reach­es me;

I know not why it is so free

I on­ly know it reach­es me.

I know not why such sav­ing faith

As this could ev­er

ev­er be

Bestowed on one of lit­tle worth

I on­ly know it reach­es me.

I know not why the Spir­it comes

A wit­ness in my soul to be;

To wit­ness to the cleans­ing pow­er

I on­ly know it reach­es me.

I know not why these gifts to man

Or what in man the Lord could see;

That He should send such boun­te­ous grace

I on­ly know it reach­es me.
