Down On My Knees Lyrics

Down On My Knees lyrics

I've got a witness not too stable

It wouldn't get me very far

I've got one hand on the table

And one in the cookie jar

I've got sins that need eviction

From a temple that's a wreck

I've got a chain of contradiction

Hanging around my neck

So I go down, I go down, down

I go down on my knees



I feel the bitter winds grow colder

They are dancing with my pride

I’ve got a chip on my shoulder

Bigger than a mountainside

And these claws of human nature

Hold me tight within their clasp

I’m not worthy of forgiveness

But I just had to ask

So I go down, I go down, down

I go down on my knees



(Chorus)

Feed my hunger – slake my thirst

For a spiritual rebirth

Light my darkness

Move in me

Make me more than what you see

As I go down on my knees



When I’ve all but killed the fire

And my soul’s in desperate need

But I wallow in the mire of complacency

That’s when I go down on my knees

I want to taste the fruit I’m missing

And yet I feast only on the bread

My desire’s alive and kicking

But my drive is dead

So I go down on my knees



(Chorus)



You bear the weight of condemnation

Cleansing with the blood of truth

So with my humble acclamation

I want to give myself to you 

So I go down, I go down, down

I go down on my knees

I go down, I go down, yea

I go down on my knees

I go down, I go down, down

I go down on my knees
