You Will Know

Mary Mary's “You Will Know” is a gospel song that listens in on people who are struggling and then answers them with a promise. The first verse describes a lonely young person with a broken heart, traveling a hard road and using pills to reach a kind of paradise. The high does not last, and the person comes down feeling lower, then gets on their knees and prays for an answer.

The voice they hear in prayer is the one that carries the chorus: you will know, troubled heart, problems have solutions, trust and I will show you, every life has reasons, I made it so. The second verse turns to single parents trying to raise children and wanting someone special to make a house a home. They find someone but not the right one, and they too get down on their knees and listen to hear the same voice. The final chorus repeats the promise for the lonely heart. The song is direct and unpolished about addiction, heartbreak and loneliness, and it keeps the answer simple: bring it to God and wait to be shown. With its R&B groove and clear harmonies it works for a youth outreach, a recovery group or anyone who has run out of their own answers and needs to hear that prayer is not wasted.

God's plans for hope is Jeremiah 29:11. The Lord hearing the cry of the righteous is Psalm 34:17, and trust that directs the path is Proverbs 3:5-6.
