George Beverly Shea performed the song “If You Know the Lord.” He released the song in 1954.

The song was written by Bickley Reichner (1905-1989). I’ve been able to find no additional information on the composer.

Shea served as the vocalists for specials at the Billy Graham Crusades. He died in 2013 at the age of 104.
