The Just Shall Live

Rich Mullins · Triple Feature [2010]

"I know the just shall live

I know the just shall live

I know the just shall live

By faith



'Cause You won't let Your Holy One

No You won't let Your Holy One

You won't let Your Holy One

See corruption in the grave



Because He put His trust in You

Because He put His trust in You

Because He put His trust in You

Many shall be saved



And I know that You will raise them up

I know that You will raise them up

I know that You will raise them up

On the last day



For the Lord looks down on the sons of men

To hear the cries of the innocent

And the guilty will not stand

For the day of reckoning soon will come

And the whole world will see justice done

By the Lord's almighty hand



So I'm telling you the just shall live

I know the just shall live

I know the just shall live

By faith



And You will raise them up

I know that You will raise them up

That You will raise them up

On the last day



And the prayers stand where the fighters fell

And time testifies with the tale that it tells

That the meek shall inherit the earth

And the Church advances on the gates of hell

And she clings to a light that will not be quelled

By the kingdoms of this world



I'm telling you the just shall live

I know the just shall live

I know the just shall live

By faith



And You will raise them up

I know that You will raise them up

You will raise them up

On the last day"
