Lyrics
You are who say You are
You'll do what You say You'll do
You'll be who You've always been to us
Jesus
And our hope is in You alone
Our strength in Your mighty name
Now our peace in the darkest day remains
Jesus
This we know
We will see the enemy run
This we know
We will see the victory come
We hold on to every promise You ever made
Jesus, You are unfailing
Our God through the wilderness
And our joy in the heaviness
You are our way when it seems there is no way
Jesus
This we know
We will see the enemy run
This we know
We will see the victory come
We hold on to every promise You ever made
Jesus, You are unfailing
We trust You, we trust You
Your ways are higher than our own
We trust You, we trust You
Your ways are higher than our own
We trust You, we trust You
Your ways are higher than our own
We trust You
In all things we trust You
Your ways are mightier than our own
This we know
We will see the enemy run
This we know
We will see the victory come
We hold on to every promise You ever made
Jesus, You are unfailing
This we know
We will see the enemy run
This we know
We will see the victory come
We hold on to every promise You ever made
Jesus, You are unfailing
Jesus, You are unfailing
We trust You, we trust You
Your ways are higher than our own
We trust You, we trust You
Your ways are higher than our own
We trust You
In all things we trust You
Your ways are higher than our own
Forever we trust You
We trust You
Your ways are higher than our own

Meaning & Inspiration
This We Know presents confidence in Jesus as the steady source of hope, strength, and peace when circumstances become difficult. Its central confession, repeated throughout the chorus, expects opposition to give way and victory to arrive because Christ remains faithful to every promise. Images of wilderness, heaviness, and a path where none seems visible give the song an honest setting: trust is declared in the middle of pressure rather than after every problem has disappeared.
The bridge anchors that trust in the conviction that God’s ways are higher than human understanding. That language closely echoes Isaiah 55:8–9, while the emphasis on divine promises aligns with 2 Corinthians 1:20. The song therefore moves from naming hardship to confessing what remains certain about Jesus. Repetition serves the message well, turning statements about God’s character into a sustained declaration of dependence. The final lines leave the focus on enduring trust rather than on the size of the struggle.
