I will speak, I will wait
I will send prophets among them
That they might hear, that they might see
And understand how much I love them
Then they will know that I am Father
They they will know I am Lord
They'll walk with Me and be My people
I'll walk with them as their God
As their God
I will strike, I will scourge
And carry out vengeance upon them
But I will heal the wounds I make
And tenderly take them back to me
Then they will know that I am Father
They they will know I am Lord
They'll walk with Me and be My people
I'll walk with them as their God
This is heaven, this is salvation
This is their great hope and Mine
He will come, My own Son
A Word faithful hearts can't help hearing
And by His death, with His last breath
A Father's forgiveness comes flowing
Then they will know that I am Savior
I am Redeemer and Friend
Immanuel, the God who is with them
The God who gives all He can
He is salvation, He is the kingdom
To know Him is paradise
Then they will know that I am Father
They they will know I am Lord
I am Lord
