166. I Know the Lord's Laid His Hands on Me

Refrain:
Oh, I know the Lord, I know the Lord,
I know the Lord's laid his hands on me,
Oh, I know the Lord, I know the Lord,
I know the Lord's laid his hands on me.

1 Did ever you see the like before,
I know the Lord's laid his hands on me,
King Jesus preaching to the poor?
I know the Lord's laid his hands on me. [Refrain]

2 Oh, wasn't that a happy day,
I know the Lord's laid his hands on me,
When Jesus wash'd my sins away?
I know the Lord's laid his hands on me. [Refrain]

3 Some seek the Lord and don't seek him right,
I know the Lord's laid his hands on me,
They fool all day and pray at night,
I know the Lord's laid his hands on me. [Refrain]

4 My Lord's done just what he said,
I know the Lord's laid his hands on me.
He's healed the sick and rais'd the dead.
I know the Lord's laid his hands on me. [Refrain]
