Gaither Vocal Band - And I Know Yes I Know Lyrics
Lyrics
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh oh
Come, ye sinners, lost and lonely
Jesus' blood can make you free
For He saved the worst among you
When He saved a wretch like me
And I know, yes, I know
Jesus' blood can make the vilest sinner clean
And I know, yes, I know
Jesus' blood can make the vilest sinner clean
To the faint He giveth power
Through the mountains makes a way
Findeth water in the desert
Turns the night to golden day
And I know, yes, I know
Jesus' blood can make the vilest sinner clean
And I know, yes, I know
Jesus' blood can make the vilest sinner clean
In temptation He is near thee
Holds the pow'rs of hell at bay
Guides you to the path of safety
Gives you grace for every day
And I know, yes, I know
Jesus' blood can make the vilest sinner clean
And I know, yes, I know
Jesus' blood can make the vilest sinner clean
Jesus' blood can make the vilest sinner clean
Jesus' blood can make the vilest sinner clean
Hm hmm hmm
It's the blood of Jesus
Can make you clean
Oh, the blood of Jesus

Gaither Vocal Band - Yes, I Know (Official Live)
Meaning & Inspiration
Released in 2012, Gaither Vocal Band's "Yes, I Know" is a powerful declaration of unwavering faith rooted deeply in the transformative experience of knowing Jesus Christ. The song’s narrative, while not tied to a specific biographical event from the Gaither Vocal Band's history, encapsulates a timeless truth central to Christian belief: the profound and life-altering assurance that comes from a personal relationship with the Savior. The central message is one of confident testimony, moving beyond mere intellectual assent to a heartfelt certainty forged through divine encounter. This certainty is not born of personal merit or human logic, but of the irrefutable evidence of God's grace working in the believer's life. The song echoes the Apostle Paul's own confident assertion in 2 Timothy 1:12, "I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto him against that day." This unwavering trust finds its foundation in the finished work of Christ, His resurrection being the ultimate proof of His power and faithfulness. The song speaks to the peace that surpasses all understanding, as described in Philippians 4:7, a peace that guards the heart and mind because of this knowledge. It’s a testament to the reality of spiritual rebirth, moving from darkness to light, a transformation vividly described in John 3:16 and reiterated throughout the Gospels, where Jesus Himself declared, "I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life" (John 8:12). The strength of "Yes, I Know" lies in its direct and unadulterated focus on this foundational truth. It isn't about the tribulations one might face, but about the unbreakable assurance that through Christ, all is well. This is the essence of the good news, that through faith in Jesus, one can overcome the world, as John assures us in his first epistle, chapter 5, verse 4: "For whatever is born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world—our faith." The song serves as a stirring reminder for believers to articulate their own spiritual conviction, to stand firm in the knowledge of God's redemptive power, and to share that life-changing truth with a world that so desperately needs to hear it. It is a musical embodiment of Romans 10:14, "How then will they call on him in whom they have not believed? And how are they to believe in him of whom they have never heard? And how are they to hear without someone preaching?" The Gaither Vocal Band delivers this message with a clarity and conviction that compels the listener to reflect on their own personal knowledge of God's saving grace.
