There are days,
When I feel
The best of me
Is ready to begin
Then they're days,
When I feel
I'm letting go,
And soaring on the wind
But I've learned in laughter or in pain,
How to survive
I get on my knees
I get on my knees
There I am before the Lord that
Changes me
See, I don't know how,
But there's power
When I'm on my knees
I can be in a crowd,
Or by myself.
Or almost anywhere,
When I feel, there's a need
To talk with God, he is Emanuel,
When I close my eyes,
No darkness there
There's only light
I get on my knees
I get on my knees
There I am before the Lord that changes me
See I don't know how, but there's power
In the blue sky
In the midnight
When I'm on my knees
I get on my knees
I get on my knees
And there I am before the Lord that changes me
I don't know how, but there's power
When I'm on my knees
When I'm on my knees.
