| Mahalia Jackson Oh...Searched and searched, from day to day Knowin' in my heart, I was truly saved Oh, wanted to know the answer for sure. So... Then God's Spirit spoke to me: "This is the hour you can be free" I called on the Lord that night, the answer came. The answer came while I was kneeling there in prayer The answer came I felt its mighty saving power Oh... when God's Spirit spoke to me: "This is the hour you can be free" I called on the Lord that night, the answer came. I prayed from my heart "have mercy, forgive" Help me, O Lord, for Thee to live Then I began to feel the answer come, Well, I can't express what happened that night I know one thing, everything all right, I felt in my soul His touch when the answer came. |
The answer came while I was kneeling there in prayer The answer came I felt its mighty saving power Oh... when the Savior came into my soul He calmed the angry billows roll I'm happy praising God each day of my life The answer came. The answer came while I was kneeling there in prayer The answer came I felt its mighty saving power Oh... when the Savior came into my soul He calmed the angry billows roll I'm happy praising God each day of my life... The answer came. |
