Refrain: 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]
