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 wounds 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 Mine



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
