Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team
I try to find a new way to tell You
Some way to show You what You mean to me
There?s nothing new
I exhaust myself searching
The world just keeps turning
What else can I do
?Cause I find myself empty and
Face down
Having nothing else to cling to
But need of love that only You can give
Face down
Where I know that I belong
And I pray with grace that this world sees in me
Someone humbled and broken at Your feet
I stand amazed, see the work of Your hands
Still I don?t understand why You would rescue me
An empty cross
Where You suffered and bled
Overcoming my death
Recreating me
With this freedom I will be
Face down
Having nothing else to cling to
But need of love that only You can give
Face down
Where I know that I belong
And I pray with grace that this world sees in me
Someone humbled and broken at Your feet
So I?m asking for Your help
Just can?t do this by myself
After all, this life?s for You and not for me
Through Your mercy now I see
Brokenness is what I need
So I?ll stay right here at Your feet
Right here at Your feet and
Face down
Having nothing else to cling to
But need of love that only You can give
Face down
Where I know that I belong
And I pray with grace that this world sees in me
Someone humbled and broken at Your feet
Oh, humbled and broken at Your feet
At Your feet
