Down on my knees

I was tired… so tired of living wrong
Smiling in the daylight, crying all night long
Every choice I made just led me back to pain
Trying to fill a void that only love could change
I was drifting, barely holding on
Acting strong but my strength was gone
Then I found myself at the end of me
With nothing left… but a desperate plea

No more running, no more pride
Just broken pieces I couldn’t hide

That’s when I hit my knees — (Oh Lord!)
Cried have mercy on me — (Have mercy!)
He heard every tear falling down my face
Wrapped me up in amazing grace
He lifted me up, turned me around
Placed my feet on solid ground
I’m not the same, I’ve been redeemed
It all happened… when I hit my knees

I was carrying guilt like a heavy chain
Haunted by my yesterday
Every mistake whispering my name
Telling me I’d never change
But I poured it out at the altar rail
Every secret, every fail
And in that moment, heaven came through
Love so strong, it made me new


I let it go, I gave it all
And grace caught me when I would fall

That’s when I hit my knees — (Yes I did!)
Cried have mercy on me — (Mercy!)
He heard my broken melody
And sang His hope back over me
He lifted me up, turned me around
Placed my feet on holy ground
I’m living proof, I’m set free
It all started… when I hit my knees

He didn’t shame me
He didn’t blame me
He loved me right where I was
He restored me
Rewrote my story
Covered me in His blood
Now I’m walking in the light
Left that old man behind
I’m a brand new creation
Saved by amazing grace divine

When I hit my knees (He saved me!)
When I hit my knees (He changed me!)
When I hit my knees (He heard my cry!)

I hit my knees — cried have mercy!
He reached way down and rescued me
From the pit to victory
Now I’m who He called me to be
He lifted me up, turned me around
Set my feet, I’m heaven-bound
If you’re lost like I used to be…
Just fall down…
Fall down…
Fall down on your knees.
