CeCe Winans' song "He's Not on His Knees Yet" is a compassionate prayer for someone who is struggling and proud, refusing to admit weakness or turn to God. The lyrics describe a person who hides pain behind a smile, feels alone, and searches for fulfillment in all the wrong places. The singer, who has walked a similar road, intercedes for this person, asking God to show mercy, allow brokenness, and restore them. The song emphasizes the need for humility and surrender before God, trusting that He can put the pieces back together.

He doesn't know his worth
Wears the saddest smile on earth
But he denies it
Love is reaching out to him
But he won't let it in
He defies it
He defies it
[Refrain]
He's not ready
He's not on his knees yet
He's too strong to be weak
Show him mercy
He's not on his knees yet
Let him break please
Make him better
Put the pieces back together
He thinks that he's alone
I have walked the road the he's on
And I know he's searching
Looking everywhere but up
He can't fill his empty cup
So he keeps hurting
He keeps hurting
[Refrain]
He's not ready
He's not on his knees yet
He's too strong to be weak
Show him mercy
He's not on his knees yet
Let him break please
Make him better
Put the pieces back together
Help him please
He's not on his knees...
