Lyrics
HE Knew Me by Glenn Warren
Oh, what a dream; They lied and they schemed...
And they falsely accused HIM that day;
Though HE needed a friend...to defend HIM from them...
HE said nothing..when I turend away...
Chorus: But HE Knew Me...Yes, HE Knew Me...
He sent the power of his love rushing through me;
I stood by HIS side...But when they asked, I denied...
Tha HE Knew Me...But HE Knew Me...HE Knew Me.
On the day that he died..it got dark as night;
When the earth quaked, I trembled within.
I waited three days..and saw the rock rolled away...
But I was scared to admit even then...
Chorus: That HE Knew Me..Yes, HE Knew Me...
He sent the power of HIS love rushing through me;
At HIS graveside I cried...But when they asked, I denied...
That HE Knew Me...But HE Knew Me...HE Knew Me.
Bridge: And I lived with the guilt...of the friend I'd betrayed;
And I prayed for forgiveness...the rest of my days;
At the great pearly gate...they asked could anyone state...
One good reason why I should come in?
Not a soul spoke a word...Then from inside I heard...
The love in the voice of my friend...
Chorus: HE said HE Knew Me...Yes, He Knew Me...
HE sent the power of HIS love rushing through me;
HE stood by my side...and He did not deny...
That HE Knew Me...Yes, He Knew Me...He Knew Me.
When I woke from my dream...I feel down on my knees...
Cause He Knew Me...Yes, HE Knew Me... He Knew Me.
