Down On My Knees

When most of what I see I just don't understand With back against the wall Leaving little left When the voices in the air Tell me that I can't Reminding me of the things In this life I've said When all four walls Are closing in on me Having a devil of a time As he won't let me be When all in front of me Looks like impossibility That is when I feel the need To get down on my knees When I think about All that God has done Thanking him for sending His one and only Son When I want to give back A portion of his love When He forgives out right For my many wrongs When I think about the fact I have been set free When I look upon the Cross And what it means to me As I am thankful for the call And that I payed it heed That is when I feel the need To get down on my knees When I gaze out at the world And the shape it's in Looking at it deeply Into the sinful heart of man When the flame of torment and sorrow Is being continually fanned As I see it setting fire To a once great sovereign land When I know the answer But I need the strength To shout it from the mountain tops To the valleys deep When looking for the answers That keep eluding me That is when I feel the need To get down on my knees
