Lyrics

I know my Lord will come,
His promise is secure;
I know my Lord will come,
He saves for­ev­er­more;
I know my Lord will come,
He died to set me free;
I know my Lord will come,
My Sav­ior’s face I’ll see.

Refrain

I know my Lord will come,
My Prophet, Priest and King;
I know my Lord will come,
I hear the angels sing;
I know my Lord will come,
He’ll take me to His throne;
I know my Lord will come,
To bear my spirit home.

I know my Lord will come,
The Bi­ble tells me so;
I know my Lord will come,
To satisfy the poor;
I know my Lord will come,
To set His loved ones free;
I know my Lord will come,
To plead for you and me.

Refrain

I know my Lord will come,
To make the wounded whole;
I know my Lord will come,
To cure the sin-sick soul;
I know my Lord will come,
His promise to fulfill;
I know my Lord will come,
Because He loves me still.

Refrain

I know my Lord will come,
He says to you and me:
Be faithful unto death,
Life’s crown I’ll give to thee;
I know my Lord will come,
I love no more to roam;
I know my Lord will come,
To take redeemed ones home.
