Verse 1


You make Your face to shine on me
And that my soul knows very well
You lift me up, now I'm cleansed and free
And that my soul knows very well

When mountains fall, I'll stand
By the power of Your hand
And in Your heart of hearts I'll dwell
And that my soul knows very well

Joy and strength each day I find
And that my soul knows very well
Forgiveness, hope, I know is mine
And that my soul knows very well

When mountains fall, I'll stand
By the power of Your hand
And in Your heart of hearts I'll dwell
And that my soul knows very well

Meaning & Inspiration

This worship song uses the refrain "And that my soul knows very well" to express settled assurance. Each verse names a blessing the singer is certain of: God's face shining, being lifted up, cleansed and set free, and then finding joy, strength, forgiveness and hope.

The phrase about God's face shining echoes the language of the priestly blessing and the Psalms, though the song does not quote a specific passage. The line "And in Your heart of hearts I'll dwell" shifts from receiving blessing to resting in God's own presence.

The chorus adds a picture of stability under pressure. "When mountains fall, I'll stand" is tied to "the power of Your hand", so confidence rests on God's strength and not on the singer's own. The repeated refrain and the multiple chorus repeats give the song a calm, affirming tone suited to congregational worship, with its theme of knowing God's goodness from personal experience.
