The Voice of Praise ‎#134

134. I Know He's Mine

1 There's One above all earthly friends
Whose love all earthly love transcends,
It is my Lord and Christ divine,
My Lord, because I know he's mine.

Chorus:
I know he's mine, this friend so dear,
He lives with me, he's ever near;
Ten thousand charms around him shine,
And, best of all, I know he's mine.

2 He's mine because he died for me,
He saved my soul, he set me free;
With joy I worship at his shrine
And cry, "Praise God, I know he's mine." [Chorus]

3 He's mine because he's in my heart,
And never, never will we part;
Just as the branch is to the vine
I'm joined to Christ; I know he's mine. [Chorus]

4 Some day upon the streets of gold
Mine eyes his glory shall behold,
Then, while his arms around me twine,
I'll cry for joy, "I know he's mine." [Chorus]
