Then the Answer Came Songtext

von Mahalia Jackson

Oh
Searched and searched from day to day
Know in my heart I was truly saved
I wanted to know the answer for sure
So 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

The answer came
(mmmmm) while I was kneeling there in prayer.
The answer came
I felt his mighty saving power
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 oh lord for three, to live"
Then I began to feel the answer come
Well I can't express what happened that night.
I know one thing everything alright
I felt in my soul his touch, when the answer came

The answer came,
(mmm)
While I was kneeling there in prayer
I felt his might saving power
When the savior came into my soul
He calmed the air, the billows roll
I have been praising God each day of my life the answer came
