On our knees
Brian Bevels 1977 (Centre al)
I can't even begin to imagine
How different life would be.
Had Jesus not hung on that cross
One day at Calvary.
You know Satan tries to deceive us
Each and every day.
Be tries to convert our minds
Into doing things his way.
We must stay strong in Jesus
And walk in his will.
Even though sometimes we fail him
We know he loves us still.
We know we can talk to Jesus
When on our knees we do fall.
And he'll be there to answer our prayers
When on his name we do call.
His prayer line is always open
Whenever you need a friend.
Just cast your cares upon him
And your broken heart he can mend.
