Lyrics & Stanzas
5 portions
Verse 1
Must I live a life of sinning Just to know God will forgive me? Must I then be brokenhearted Just to know that He can cheer me?
Verse 2
Must I be in heav'n with Him Just to know the Lord is reigning? Must I see His acts of power, Just to know that He is with me?
Verse 3
Must my prayers be loudly spoken Just to know the Father hears me? Must I die with no one knowing Just to know the Father sees me?
Verse 4
Must I see the King leave heaven Just to keep my hopeful yearning? Must I watch with perfect vision Just to know that He's returning?
Chorus
Praise the Lord! I am forgiven, And my Father up in heaven knows and hears and will be with me; Praise the Lord! I am His child!
