7997. I Only Know It Reaches Me

1 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.

Refrain:
It reaches me, it reaches me,
God’s grace so wondrous reaches me;
I know not why it is so free,
I only know it reaches me.

2 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. [Refrain]

3 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. [Refrain]

4 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. [Refrain]
