There are days when I feel
The best of me is ready to begin.
Then there’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 Love that changes me.
See I don’t know how, but there’s pow’r
When I’m on my knees.

I can be in a crowd
Or by myself -- almost anywhere
When I feel there’s a need
To talk with God; He is Emmanuel.
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 Love that changes me.
See I don’t know how, but there’s pow’r
In the blue skies, in the midnight
When I’m on my knees.

I get on my knees, I get on my knees;
There I am before the Love that changes me.
See I don’t know how, but there’s pow’r
When I’m on my oh, when I’m on my,
When I’m on my knees. Ooh, oh.
