Then They Will Know

Then They Will Know (by Michael Card)
(A song of God's inner life)
----------------------------
I will speak
I will wait
I will send prophets among them
That they might hear
That they might see
And understand how much I love
them
Then they will know that I am Father
They they will know I am Lord
They'll walk with Me
And be My people
I'll walk with them as their God
as their God
I will strike
I will scourge
And carry out vengeance upon them
But I will heal the woun
ds I make
And tenderly take them back to me
Then they will know that I am Father
They they will know I am Lord
They'll walk with Me
And be My people
I'll walk with them as their God
This is heaven
This is salvation
This is their great hope and M
ine
He will come
My own Son
A Word faithful hearts can't help hearing
And by His death
With His last breath
A Father's forgiveness comes flowing
Then they will know
That I am Savior
I am Redeemer and Friend
Immanuel
The God who is with them
The God who gives all He can
He is salvation
He is the kingdom
To know Him is paradise
Then they will know that I am Father
They they will know I am Lord
I am Lord
