I know the just shall live
I know the just shall live
I know the just shall live
By faith

'Cause you won't let your holy one
No you won't let your holy one
You won't let your holy one
See corruption in the grave

Because he put his trust in you
Because he put his trust in you
Because he put his trust in you
Many shall be saved

And I know that you will raise them up
I know that you will raise them up
I know that you will raise them up
On the last day

For the Lord looks down on the sons of men
To hear the cries of the innocent
And the guilty will not stand
For the day of reckoning soon will come
And the whole world will see justice done
By the Lord's almighty hand

So I'm telling you the just shall live
I know the just shall live
I know the just shall live
By faith

And you will raise them up
I know that you will raise them up
That you will raise them up
On the last day

And the prayers stand where the fighters fell
And time testifies with the tale that it tells
That the meek shall inherit the earth
And the church advances on the gates of hell
And she clings to a light that will not be quelled
By the kingdoms of this world

I'm telling you the just shall live
I know the just shall live
I know the just shall live
By faith

And you will raise them up
I know that you will raise them up
You will raise them up
On the last day
