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
Our hope is in You alone
Our strength in Your mighty name
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
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 is a declaration of confidence in the reliability of Jesus. The verses name him as hope, strength, peace, guidance, and joy, placing each confession against hardship such as darkness, heaviness, opposition, and the wilderness. The chorus answers those pressures by holding to divine promises and anticipating victory. Its certainty is not based on favorable conditions; it rests on the conviction that Jesus remains faithful to his character and word.
The bridge gives the song its clearest biblical connection by confessing that Gods ways are higher than human ways. Repeated statements of trust turn that truth into a congregational response, including trust in all things and trust that continues forever. The lyrics also echo biblical teaching that Gods promises find their fulfillment in Christ. Together, those themes support perseverance without denying difficulty. The song directs attention away from limited understanding and toward the constancy of Jesus, presenting worship as a steady act of confidence when no visible path appears available.
