On Bended Knee

As a child my father taught me how to pray,
on fields of green and sun filled day.

I bow down on bended knee,
out stretched hands for God to see.

Dressed for battle I search my heart,
my spirit, my soul, my body take part.

I praise and worship the great I am,
for in his presence resides the lion and the lamb.

I cry aloud, for heaven I breach,
the lost and the broken within my reach.

As a child my father taught me how to pray,
on fields of green and sun filled day.
