I fell on my knees Laid my face in my palms Tears streamed down my cheeks Worry had a hold of my heart Nothing seemed to bring peace And I couldn’t find any relief “God, please help me” The only words I could say A prayer simple and complete Feelings filled with sensitivity Needs that rested on His grace The only way that I could be Sure that He would ease my mind Comfort my heart and soul Wipe the tears from my face And fill me up with joy and hope I fell to my knees Doubts racing to my mind Coloring me in hues of sorrow Bleak as a wintery night I fell to my knees Suffering beyond what words reveal Laying it all on the floor for Him The One whose love I yearned to feel I fell to my knees Silence surrounding my thoughts The crimson flow of His lifegiving blood Washing me in a flood, an anointing Rivers of living water – compassion Faith, hope and love beyond my dreams Blessing me with a grace so thick It covered me up like a heavy quilt I fell to my knees Burning with neediness, craving The source of all His joy Love that lives because He died And rose again to give this world A second chance, a new life The end to all sorrow and strife I fell to my knees Buried under His thick covering Blood that sprinkles blessed faith Suffering born on wings of grace Lighting the heart who harbors hate So that all it can feel is pure praise I fell to my knees Dejected and alone, mourning I came up new and certain That I’d been given the answer To every worry or fear The answer is alive, living inside And His name is Jesus Christ I went down a sinner And came up forgiven I went down lost And came up found I went down with a burden And I came up with a plan Now that I belong to my Savior I will spend eternity praising Him!

My favorite line is love that lives because he died...giving him the highest praise for he is worthy. Thank you for being a vessel for his words.
