I Know the God of Sovereign Grace

This was the closing prayer poem from my sermon To Know the God of Sovereign Grace: Three Ways to Understand Unconditional Election. June 22, 2025. First Chinese Baptist Church, Walnut, California.


I Know the God of Sovereign Grace

I know the God of sovereign grace
He rules and reigns from heavens heights
In holy love, he wills to save
His ways are wise, his heart is kind

I know the God of sovereign grace
With every morn, new mercies come
He’s slow to anger, patient, waits
And does all that he freely wants

I know the God of sovereign grace
His glory and his power shown
So that his name might be proclaimed
For even hearts — his will controls.


I know the God of sovereign grace
With pure authority he stands
For as the potter shapes the clay
We trust his purposes and plans


I know the God of sovereign grace
He takes a remnant to survive
Adopting sons, a family made
Bought by the blood and cross of Christ

I know the God of sovereign grace
He rules and reigns from heavens heights
In holy love, he wills to save
His ways are wise, his heart is kind
