When I hit my knees

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
