1 Somehow I know that Christ is mine,
No pow’r can take me out of His care,
He holds me with His arm divine,
And in His Kingdom I have a share.

Refrain:
Somehow His love will never let me go,
Somehow He loves me better than I know,
Somehow, some day when life is o’er,
I’ll dwell with Him for evermore.

2 Somehow I feel that He is near,
Whene’er I’m tempted to go astray,
His presence calms my ev’ry fear,
And keeps me singing along the way. [Refrain]

3 Somehow I hear Him gently call,
Whene’er I’m lonely and need a friend,
His mercy lifts me when I fall,
And will support me until the end. [Refrain]

4 Somehow I trust Him for today,
And for tomorrow whate’er it be,
My anxious fears upon Him lay,
For Jesus watches and cares for me. [Refrain]
