On My Knees

My Lord, my God

Father

You my God, You epitomize love

The Word that only You are the definition of

You give it out so readily to all who desire

Even though behind Your back as sinners we conspire

How deep and amazing is Your never-ending grace

Cause all we're gonna do is smash it into Your face

The kind of people we are, man, we're going downhill

We live to die, die to live, we readily kill

It must pain You to see people just like me

Who never stop falling to the ground, we're so weak

Day in and day out we say we're really true

But really sometimes I'm hiding feelings from You

Use me, God, even though I'm little in worth

Compared to Your presence, Lord, You made the great earth

And all I do is think about Your own creation

Here I am once again face down and I'm on my knees

I'm on my knees

I'm on my knees

Lord, I'm on my knees

(Knees, yes, Lord)

I was nothing before I met You, committed in my ways

Never understood that I was supposed to live for You

Weekly church, paying tithes, helping out

Thinking these works comprised the meat

Of what the Christian life's about

So my life consisted of my persistence

In the things I could do for You, naive to perceive

The path that You set for me, walking in selfish agendas

Good intentions, but it was not what You planned for me

I made it all about what I could do for You

Pursued these visions in my mind

Leading me down meaningless avenues

'Til You renewed my mind

It's not about what I can yield

But humble myself so the King can live through me and be revealed

My heart's desire: to depend on You for everything

Even when I'm confident of what to do, I'll ask my King

Jesus, God, my path, Lord of Lords, Prince of Peace

I lift all of it to You, so I'm on my knees

I'm on my knees

I'm on my knees, Lord

Yes, I'm on my knees
