Down On My Knees lyrics

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
