On Your Knees
Newsboys · Other Songs - Newsboys
How when you're winning, you got more friends
But are they your friends if you fall they're gone?
Something about those kind of people seems wrong
Who's gonna be there when the phone call knocks her down?
All of the steeples but she can't hear a bell sound
Jumps on a bus to head downtown
And picks up the paper that's been blowing around, it says
When your heart breaks, He'll hurt for you
Dreams are out of reach, He'll pull you through
When you lose hope all you gotta do
Is get on your knees again
Not long now and you're gonna see
No mountain's too high for you or for me
Or fall too far if you can believe
And get on your knees, on your knees again
She folds up the paper and puts it in her bag
Knows she really needs a savior like that
Walking past her church just up the street
Says, "Maybe it's time to get on my knees"
'Cause He was there when no one was around
All of the people but no one made a sound
Thinks of her brother who's been feeling down
Pulls out the paper and reads it aloud
When your heart breaks, He'll hurt for you
Dreams are out of reach, He'll pull you through
When you lose hope all you gotta do is
Get on your knees again
Not long now and you're gonna see
No mountain's too high for you or for me
Or fall too far if you can believe
And get on your knees, on your knees again
You've given everything you've got
Still it's hard to believe
Love comes from the inside out
If you wanna be free
Ya gotta give your love and never stop
When you think about giving up
Get on your knees
When your heart breaks, He'll hurt for you
Dreams are out of reach, He'll pull you through
When you lose hope all you gotta do is
Get on your knees again
Not long now and you're gonna see
No mountain's too high for you or for me
Or fall too far if you can believe
And get on your knees, on your knees again
On your knees again, on your knees again
When you've giving everything you've got
Ya gotta give your love and never stop
