[Verse 1] There's truth in the love I know He said to the blind man, open your eyes and see And I know He said to the lame man, stand up and follow Me I know he walked on the water Said look at what faith will do He turned the water into wine And fed all the multitude [Chorus] Well, how do you know? I just know by the way I feel How do you know? I just know 'cause the joy is real How do you know? I just know 'cause I've been set free And there's truth in the love He gave to me [Verse 2] I didn't get in at the Sunday school When they tried to put the fear in me Talking 'bout fire and brimstone and burning in eternity I didn't get it when they came knocking Insisting on witnessing to me And I sure didn't get it from no TV preacher Trying to get all my money [Chorus] Well, how do you know? I just know by the way I feel How do you know? I just know 'cause the joy is real How do you know? I just know 'cause I've been set free And there's truth in the love He gave to me [Verse 3] I've been taking a good long look around A good long look around Taking an honest evaluation He's a friend I know, I know In any situation Oh I betcha can't beat that Oh I betcha can't beat that What a real good best friend I got Real good best friend I got There's truth in the love There's truth in the love, there's truth in the love [Verse 4] He made it easy enough I do believe To get it all together Gave you the right to do wrong Made you wise enough to know better Said he'd never ever force his will on you He'll lay down a heavy suggestion but it's gotta be you [Chorus] Well, how do you know I just know by the way I feel How do you know I just know 'cause the joy is real How do you know I just know 'cause I've been set free And there's truth in the love He gave to me [Tag] I've been searchin' and I think I've found the right way Somebody why don't you ask me Ask me and I'll tell you How do you know? My God sure loves to celebrate How do you know? I found the truth in the love affair with my Jesus How do you know? Me and my love takin' care of business How do you know? Got Him on the mainline talkin' it over How do you know? It's all about lovin' How do you know? Whoa, whoa, whoa I just know that How do you know? Another praise for His heavenly glory How do you know?
