John Hamilton Poet Lyric

That's When I Fall Down Upon My Knees

THAT’S WHEN I FALL DOWN UPON MY KNEES

There’s no way- 
I’ll see another sunrise
My hope is gone-
as I contemplate my life

Prospects are bleak- 
that’s just the way I’m feeling
My strength is gone- 
and my will to live is fading

Here in the dark- 
Even my shadow has left me
I spiral down-
into a pit of misery

That’s when I- 
remember that you love me
I kneel to pray- 
and throw all my cares on you

Chorus
That’s when I fall down upon my knees
And then I beg you Lord...
Don’t turn your face away from me
I know I’ve made a mess out of my life
Could you help me please?
When I feel like it’s the end
That’s when I fall down upon my knees

I can’t lie- 
I know I’m running out of time
And I know-
that your patience is wearing thin

I must change-
if I’m ever going to save my life
Oh please dear Lord-
help me fight all my sins and win!

Chorus
That’s when I fall down upon my knees
And then I beg you Lord...
Don’t turn your face away from me
I know I’ve made a mess out of my life
Could you help me please?
When I feel like it’s the end
That’s when I fall down upon my knees

Chorus repeat 

Finale
That’s when I fall down upon my knees
That’s when I fall down upon my knees

repeat and fade
