Get Down On Your Knees


GET DOWN ON YOUR KNEES 

When pain slices through you like a knife,
When you feel the brunt of all your strife,
Look up to God, get down on your knees,
He will comfort you, give you release;

When troubles overcome your lifeboat,
When you find it tough to stay afloat,
Look up to God, get down on your knees,
He will let you pass over with ease;

When distress racks you into a wreck,
When it places on your life a check,
Look up to God, get down on your knees,
He will hold you close, your woes will cease.

A wonderful reminder Jo, I see you've been posting a lot, I'm a little slow to realize, I'll have to catch up with your writes. I have a song very similar to this called that's when I fall down upon my knees, maybe you would like it!

Jo, I love this poetic reminder to cast our burdens upon the Lord. He always hears. Well done, so glad I saw this today. I need this reminder in my life. Hugs ~ John
