  Lyrics

  Once I wandered alone

  In blackness of night

  Once I struggled along

  Far from God and right

  Then I saw I was lost

  And in my despair

  I fell upon my knees in prayer

  Chorus:

  I was down on my knees

  Down on my knees

  Praying to my Lord ev’ry day

  I was praying to Jesus

  To hear me please

  And take my heavy burden away

  Old Satan tried to tell me

  The Bible was a lie

  That Jesus did not love me

  And I was doomed to die

  But I stayed at my knees

  Stayed on my knees

  Jesus took my burden away

  I had fallen so low in sin

  And in shame

  That it seemed almost hopeless

  To trust His name

  But I lifted my voice

  And cried in despair

  And Jesus heard my humble prayer

  I was down on my knees

  Down on my knees

  Praying to my Lord ev’ry day

  I was praying to Jesus

  To hear me please

  And take my heavy burden away

  Old Satan tried to tell me

  The Bible was a lie

  That Jesus did not love me

  And I was doomed to die

  But I stayed at my knees

  Stayed on my knees

  Jesus took my burden away
