To My Knees
II Corinthians 12:9-10
"My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses ... for when I am weak, then I am strong.
I am but a blade of grass that's swaying in the breeze,
In the sun I'm growing fast but in the dark I freeze.
The sun shines on my time alone spent praying to my Lord,
But darkness reigns when I'm elsewhere to seek my own reward.
Lord, I am the strongest when my own strength fades away,
I know I see the clearest when I close my eyes to pray,
Father, I am tallest when You bring me to my knees,
So bring me to my knees today,
Bring me to my knees to pray.
Often I am overcome with burdens and with fears,
Heaven seems so far away, I wonder if God hears.
Then I hear a still, small voice that calls me from within,
"I'll never leave you, nor forsake you, even to the end".
Lord, I am the strongest when my own strength fades away,
I know I see the clearest when I close my eyes to pray,
Father, I am tallest when You bring me to my knees,
So bring me to my knees today,
Bring me to my knees to pray.
