Verse 1: I do not know the depths of Jesus' love, that brought Him down to earth from heaven above, nor why He bore the cross up Calvary and shed His precious blood so willingly.
Chorus: But this one thing I know; that when the crimson flow dropped to the earth below, it fell on me. My eyes were opened wide, I saw Him crucified, and knew for me He died.

I would like to know if anyone knows the author of this song and where I can find the music.
Thank you

"But This One Thing I Know"
(Written by Austin Miles in 1931)

"I do not know the depths of Jesus' love,
That brought Him down to earth from Heaven above,
Nor why He bore the cross up Calvary
And shed His precious blood so willingly.

I do not know what pain He suffered there,
The burden of my sin and shame to bear.
It may be well to hide it all from me,
Lest my own heart should break in sympathy.

I do not know what I can do, or say,
My debt of gratitude to Him to pay;
But I at least may cry,"O Christ divine!
Had I a thousand lives they should be Thine."

Chorus:
But this one thing I know: That when the crimson flow
Dropped to the earth below, it fell on me.
My eyes were opened wide, I saw Him crucified,
And knew for me He died...on Calvary".

Go to your local public library and ask a reference librarian to have a copy of this as sheet music mailed or faxed in.

Thank you very much for your help and quick response!

I notice that this request was made in 2010 but I have the sheet music for "But This I Know" by C. Austin Miles if you still are looking for it.

Hi ssgtryan (staff sergeant Ryan? )

I have been trying to locate the music for this song the last couple of months.
If you still have it, would you please email me a copy of it?
I want to have it sung in our church worship service. Thank you so much.
