DOWN ON MY KNEES

Down on my knees
As the tears flow free
Feeling so unworthy
Of Your love and mercy

Feeling my life is worthless
Drowning in emptiness
Crying out for forgiveness
In the night�s darkness

Everything I have ever done
Never wanting to hurt anyone
Yet I am the one crying out
When no one is about

Asking if it be Your will
To forgive me still
Knowing I may have hurt someone
Asking Your will be done

Longing for Your love to surround me
Giving everything to Thee
Needing the cleansing flood
Of thy precious blood

Yet the tears continue to fall
As I give my heart my soul my all
Trusting You to heal
As in tears there I kneel

Your tender touch in my soul
Taking away guilt, making me whole
For I have taken the first step
crying out for Your help

It is all You ask of me
As I surrender myself to Thee
For You paid the price
By Your willing sacrifice

You gave Yourself for me
Now I give myself to thee
Set free from the guilt and pain
Washed in Your blood that fell like rain

Your love surrounds me
You have heard my plea
Thank You Lord for Your mercy
Thank You Lord for accepting me

Thank You for forgiving me my sin
Thank You Lord for entering in
To a heart so full of guilt
Now on You my hope is built

I pray for You to lead and guide
And let me never leave Your side
For every time I kneel in prayer
I know You are always there

I have taken the guilt trip many, many times and in the end had to forgive myself and He was there everytime to pick me up... So heartfelt and beautiful.
