Mahalia Jackson
He Must Have Known
[Verse 1]
He must have known my heart was sad
From how I cried alone
The song the robin's sang to me
Was not but heaven's tone
[Verse 2]
He must have known I felt despair
When in my deepest mood
The words a friend did say to me
Has cleansed my soul from gloom
[Bridge]
He must have known my faith was weak
For as I kneeled to pray I felt refreshed
And I cried no more but live a fruitful day
[Verse 3]
He must have known my heart did bleed
And sent a flag so weak
For as I called, "Forgive me, Lord"
His still small voice did spеak
