He was here in the beginning...

"...For this reason I also suffer these things, but I am not ashamed; for I know whom I have believed and I am convinced that He is able to guard what I have entrusted to Him until that day. 

Retain the standard of sound words which you have heard from me, in the faith and love which are in Christ Jesus.

Guard, through the Holy Spirit who dwells in us, the treasure which has been entrusted to you...."

2 Timothy 1:12-14

I Know Whom I Have Believed

I know not why God’s wondrous grace


To me He hath made known,


Nor why, unworthy, Christ in love


Redeemed me for His own.

But “I know Whom I have believed,


And am persuaded that He is able

To keep that which I’ve committed


Unto Him against that day."

I know not how this saving faith


To me He did impart,


Nor how believing in His Word


Wrought peace within my heart.

But “I know Whom I have believed,


And am persuaded that He is able

To keep that which I’ve committed


Unto Him against that day."

I know not how the Spirit moves,


Convincing men of sin,


Revealing Jesus through the Word,


Creating faith in Him.

But “I know Whom I have believed,


And am persuaded that He is able

To keep that which I’ve committed


Unto Him against that day."

I know not what of good or ill


May be reserved for me,


Of weary ways or golden days,


Before His face I see.

But “I know Whom I have believed,


And am persuaded that He is able

To keep that which I’ve committed


Unto Him against that day."

I know not when my Lord may come,


At night or noonday fair,


Nor if I walk the vale with Him,


Or meet Him in the air.

But “I know Whom I have believed,


And am persuaded that He is able

To keep that which I’ve committed


Unto Him against that day."
