Heard folks talk about the things You'd done, yes
And I would just laugh at what they'd say, laugh at what they'd say
Who would've thought, in time, that I would be the one?
Who would've thought that I'd get to know You this way?
Say who would've thought I'd know you this way? Yeah yeah
I'd know you this way?
Just like a shining light from out of the blue
Before I could waste my life away
You came and took my life, made it brand new, yes you did
Who would've thought I'd get to know You this way?
Say who would've thought I'd know You this way?
Listen, I know You, Lord, since You've entered in
Oh yes
I can't believe the things You've done
Oh Lord
You came and saved me, changed me and forgave me
Then You took me in as one of Your own
As one of Your own
Now when I feel my world is falling apart
Oh yeah
I can just bend my knees and pray
You know what?
Feels so good to feel this love in my heart
Who would've thought I'd get to know You this way?
Say who would've thought I'd know You this way?
Oh yeah, say
I know You, Lord, since You've entered in
Oh yeah
I can't believe the things You've done
You came and you saved me, changed me and forgave me
And then You took me in as one of Your own
As one of Your own
Now when I feel my world is falling apart
Oh yeah
I can just bend my knees and pray
You know what?
Feels so good to feel this love in my heart
Who would've thought I'd get to know You this way?
Say who would've thought I'd know You this way?
So glad I'd know You this way
I got to know you, I got to know you
Said I got to know you, I got to know you this way
I got to know you, I got to know you
I got to know you, I got to know you this way
I got to know you, I got to know you
I got to know you, I got to know you this way
I got to know you, I got to know you
I got to know you, I got to know you this way
Got to know you in a better way
Got to know you in a better way
Just I got to know you in a better way
Got to know you in a better way
I got to know you in a better way
Got to know you in a better way
I thought, I knew you on yesterday, I say
I thought, I knew you on yesterday
But I got to know you in a better way
I got to know you in a better way
I thought, I knew you on yesterday
I thought, I knew you on yesterday
I got to know you in a better way
I got to know you in a better way
I thought, I knew you on yesterday
I thought, I knew you on yesterday
But I got to know you in a better way
I got to know you in a better way
I thought, I knew you on yesterday
I thought, I knew you on yesterday
But I got to know you for myself
I got to know you in a better way
I got to know you, I got to know you
I got to know you, I got to know you this way
I got to know you, I got to know you
I got to know you, I got to know you this way
I got to know you, I got to know you
