On My Knees

My Lord, my God, Father. You, my God, you epitomize 'Love' The word that only you are the definition of You give it out so readily to all who desire Even though behind your back, as sinners we conspire How deep and amazing is your never-ending grace 'Cause all we're gonna do is smash it into your face The kind of people we are man, we're going down hill We live to die, die to live, we readily kill I must pain you to see people just like me Who never stop falling to the ground, we're so weak Day in and day out we say we're really true But really sometimes I'm hiding feelings from you Use me, God, even though I'm little in worth Compared to your presence, Lord you made the great earth And all I do is think about your own creation Here I am, once again, facedown and I'm on my knees I'm on my knees I'm on my knees Lord, I'm on my knees I was nothing 'fore I met You Committed in my ways, never understood that I was supposed to live for You Weekly church, paying tithes, helping out Thinking these works comprised the meat of what the Christian life's about So my life consisted of my persistence in the things I could do for You Naive to perceive the path that You set for me Walking in selfish agendas, good intentions, but it was not what You planned for me I made it all about what I can do for You, pursue these visions in mind leading me down meaningless avenues Till You renewed my mind, it's not about what I can yield But humble myself so the King can live through me and be revealed My hearts desire to depend on You for everything Even when I'm confident of what to do, I'll ask my King Jesus guide my path, Lord of Lords, Prince of Peace I lift all I am to You, so I'm on my knees I'm on my knees I'm on my knees, Lord Yes, I'm on my knees Father, I'm aching for my generation. I feel the anguish in my heart and all my thoughts are racing, I know that you are patient. Even though nobody wants to give you praise and people choose to blame you for all their troubles and pain. I will stand in the gap for all the lovers and haters. Stand in the gap for every single nay-sayer that is living on my campus, who got it all backwards. Will you please redeem this land and clean up all the damage? Overwhelm my brothers who are facing displacement. I know that you will over flow all the cups of the vacant. I see that apathy is spreading quite rapidly, Feeling like I'm powerless, revival isn't happening. So here I am on my knees again. I'm in awe of your glory, got a peace within. So here I am on my knees again. I'm amazed by your grace, got a peace within. I'm on my knees Father, I'm on my knees I'm on my knees (Yea) I'm on my knees
