Lyrics
Once I wandered alone
In blackness of night
Once I struggled along
Far from God and right
Then I saw I was lost
And in my despair
I fell upon my knees in prayer
Chorus:
I was down on my knees
Down on my knees
Praying to my Lord ev'ry day
I was praying to Jesus
To hear me please
And take my heavy burden away
Old Satan tried to tell me
The Bible was a lie
That Jesus did not love me
And I was doomed to die
But I stayed at my knees
Stayed on my knees
Jesus took my burden away
I had fallen so low in sin
And in shame
That it seemed almost hopeless
To trust His name
But I lifted my voice
And cried in despair
And Jesus heard my humble prayer
I was down on my knees
Down on my knees
Praying to my Lord ev'ry day
I was praying to Jesus
To hear me please
And take my heavy burden away
Old Satan tried to tell me
The Bible was a lie
That Jesus did not love me
And I was doomed to die
But I stayed at my knees
Stayed on my knees
Jesus took my burden away
