On Your Knees

Lately, she's been thinking what her daddy said

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
