Title: When I Hit My Knees
Verse 1
I held it together till my hands went numb
Smiling through smoke while my whole world burned
Everybody saw me standing there
But nobody knew how bad it hurt
I had a storm sitting in my chest
A thousand words I never said
I kept trying to save myself
Till I had nothing left
Pre-Chorus
Then the walls came down
And the lights went black
I screamed Your name
With my soul cracked open
Chorus
When I hit my knees
I let it all go
The pain, the fear
The war in my bones
I cried out, God
I can’t carry this
Take what’s broken
Turn it into a promise
I was shattered on the floor
But heaven heard me breathe
That was the night I lost myself
And found You on my knees
Verse 2
I wasn’t praying pretty
I wasn’t talking clean
I was shaking like thunder
Begging You to see me
I said, Lord, if You’re real
Then come get me now
Because I can’t climb out
And I don’t know how
My faith was bleeding
My hope was thin
But something holy
Came rushing in
Pre-Chorus
And I felt the room change
In the middle of my cries
Like mercy walked in
And looked me in the eyes
Chorus
When I hit my knees
I let it all go
The shame, the rage
The weight in my soul
I cried out, God
I can’t carry this
Take what’s broken
Turn it into a promise
I was shattered on the floor
But heaven heard me breathe
That was the night I lost myself
And found You on my knees
Bridge
I gave Him the pieces
I gave Him the blame
I gave Him the ashes
I gave Him my name
I gave Him the questions
I gave Him the fight
I gave Him the darkness
He gave me back light
I thought I was dying
But I was being freed
The prison broke open
When I hit my knees
Final Chorus
When I hit my knees
I let it all go
The past, the chains
The hurt I called home
I cried out, God
I surrender this
Take what’s broken
Turn it into a witness
I was shattered on the floor
But heaven heard me breathe
That was the night I lost myself
And found You on my knees
Outro
I screamed till my spirit was empty
I cried till my heart could see
And God met me in the wreckage
The moment I hit my knees
