Kathy Troccoli How Would I Know Lyrics

Words and Music by Jackie Gouché-Ferris and Andrew Gouché

If it wasn't for the times that I was down

If it wasn't for the times that I was bound

For all the times that I wondered

How I would ever make it through

All the times that I couldn't see my way

And I had to turn to You

Chorus:

How would I know You could deliver

How would I know You could set free

If there had never been a battle

How would I know the victory

How would I know You could be faithful

To meet all of my needs

Lord I appreciate the hard times

Otherwise how would I know

I remember all the times I had to cry

And at the time all I could do was wonder why

Why would a God so kind and loving

Allow me to go through all this pain

If I could see into the future

Then I would know the joy I'd gain

Repeat chorus

How would I know that you could make a way out of no way

How would I know if I never had a need

Brother I know what you're goin' through

Sister I know cause I've been in your shoes

But I can truly say that I know what God can do

Repeat chorus
