On My Knees Again

I came home tired from another long day Dust on my boots and tears on my face Tried to hold it together, tried to be strong But this old heart knew where it belonged So I shut the door and I hit the floor Could not carry it one mile more No fancy words, no perfect prayer Just a broken soul meeting mercy there And You did not turn away When all I had was pain Here I am on my knees again Laying my burdens down Every fear I’ve been holding in Falling like rain to the ground I do not have to be strong tonight I do not have to pretend Your grace is waiting right where I fall Here on my knees again There’s a Bible open on the kitchen chair Coffee gone cold and peace in the air I’ve been wrestling with questions I cannot explain But You keep showing up through the ache and the pain Like a hymn from my mama, like a church bell sound Like holy ground in this little house You remind me I’m still Your child Even when I’ve been gone a while You meet me in the lowest place And cover me with grace Here I am on my knees again Laying my burdens down Every fear I’ve been holding in Falling like rain to the ground I do not have to be strong tonight I do not have to pretend Your grace is waiting right where I fall Here on my knees again Take my worry, take my shame Take these scars I cannot name Take the roads that led me wrong Turn my crying into song You are the hand that lifts my head You are the voice that calls me friend When I have nothing left to bring You still love the broken me Here I am on my knees again Laying my whole heart down Every tear that I cried in secret You turn into holy ground I do not have to be strong tonight I do not have to pretend Your grace is waiting right where I fall Here on my knees again Soft acoustic guitar and choir fade Here on my knees again I found You there, my Friend Here on my knees again You brought me home again
