Author: Minnie B. Johnson Hymnal: The Golden Sheaf #94 (1902) First Line: I know not why God's wondrous grace Refrain First Line: It reaches me, it reaches me Lyrics: 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.
Chorus:
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. [Chorus]
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. [Chorus]
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. [Chorus] Tune Title: [I know not why God's wondrous grace]
I Only Know It Reaches Me
