Mahalia Jackson – He Must have known lyrics

He must have known my heart was sad
How I cried alone
The song a robin sang to me
Was nobody's else but his tone

He must have known I felt despair
When in my deepest mood
The words a friend did say to me
Hath cleansed my soul from gloom

He must have known my faith was weak
For ere I kneeled to pray I felt refreshed
And I cried no more but live a fruitful day.

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 speak.
