Kari Jobe's song 'Find You on My Knees' is a worship ballad about seeking God in the midst of trouble, weariness, and fear. The lyrics express a personal struggle with anxiety and sorrow, yet affirm trust in God's faithfulness. The central theme is finding God's presence and strength when one is at their lowest, offering only brokenness. The song emphasizes prayer and surrender as the posture of the heart, with the repeated line 'I'll find you on my knees' highlighting dependence on God. It connects to the biblical idea of God lifting up the humble and drawing near to the brokenhearted.

Troubles chasing me again,
Breaking down my best defence,
I'm looking, God, I'm looking for you
Weary just won't let me rest
And fear is filling up my head.
I'm longing, God I'm longing for you
But I will find you in the place I'm in,
Find you when I'm at my end,
Find you when there's nothing left of me to offer you except for brokenness.
You lift me up, you'll never leave me thirsty,
When I am weak, when I am lost and searching
I'll find you on my knees.
So what if sorrow shakes my faith,
And what if heartache still remains?
I'll trust you, my God I'll trust you.
'Cause You are faithful and I will...
Find you in the place I'm in,
Find you when I'm at my end,
Find you when there's nothing left of me to offer you except for brokenness.
You lift me up, you'll never leave me thirsty,
When I am weak, when I am lost and searching
Find you on my knees, my knees.
When my hope is gone,
When the fear is strong
When the pain is real,
When it's hard to heal
When my faith is shaken
And my heart is broken
And my joy is stolen,
God I know that...
[Regular version:] You lift me up, you'll never leave me searching,
[Acoustic version:] You lift me up, you'll never leave me thirsty,
Find you in the place I'm in,
Find you when I'm at my end,
Find you when there's nothing left of me to offer you except for brokenness.
You lift me up, you'll never leave me thirsty,
When I am weak, when I am lost and searching
I'll find you on my knees.
