507. O I Know the Lord

Refrain:
O I know the Lord, I know the Lord,
I know the Lord's laid his hands on me.
O 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 O wasn't that a happy day
I know the Lord's laid his hands on me.
When Jesus washed 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 raised the dead.
I know the Lord's laid his hands on me. [Refrain]
