Sinners on My Knees

I’ve been holding all my habits

Like a badge upon my chest

Calling weakness “who I am”

So I don’t have to confess

I got tired of my talking

Tired of my proud defense

Every mask I tried to wear

Only showed what’s underneath

⸻

I’ve been running out of reasons

I’ve been running out of breath

I don’t need another answer

I just need Your kindness left

⸻

I’m a sinner on my knees

Begging mercy, begging peace

If Your grace is still enough

Won’t You come and cover me

I’m a sinner on my knees

Let Your kindness set me free

If You hear me when I fall

I am giving You my all

I remember all those Sundays

Singing words I didn’t mean

Hands held high, heart divided

Living someone else’s dream

Monday came with different altars

Different truths I tried to claim

I was dressed in guilt and armor

Made of anger, made of shame

⸻

I don’t want another surface

I don’t want another lie

If You’re healing what is broken

Start with me, don’t pass me by

⸻

I’m a sinner on my knees

Begging mercy, begging peace

If Your grace is still enough

Won’t You come and cover me

I’m a sinner on my knees

Let Your kindness set me free

If You hear me when I fall

I am giving You my all

I don’t want to stay the same

I don’t want to stay this way

Take the weight, take the blame

Write a different end today

If You’re still in love with failures

Still in love with broken things

Then this breaking is my offering

Every fracture that I bring

⸻

I was a sinner on my knees

But You’re closer than I breathe

Every mercy rushing in

Every promise over me

I was a sinner on my knees

Now Your kindness carries me

When You lift me from the dust

I am Yours because of love

⸻

I don’t have strength to offer You

Just honest tears and hallelujahs

If all You ask is all of me

Here’s my heart—no guarantees

I’ll stop running, I’ll stay still

You have met me, You always will

I don’t need answers, I need Your touch

Being near You is enough

I’m a sinner… saved by love

I’m a sinner… held by love
