In My Heart - On My Knees

Even standing tall for all the world to see,

If my head is bowed, do not be deceived.

In my heart, I am on my knees.

If lying down, or sitting, when I am in pain,

When I call on God, by praying in Christ’s name,

In my heart, I am on my knees.

In the quiet privacy of my own home,

If I call on Him, and we are truly alone,

In my heart, I am on my knees.

Whether my knees are truly bent,

Or prayer is in any other pose spent,

In my heart, I am on my knees.

Even if, I may not always be able to kneel.

As age, or place, make it harder still.

In my heart, I am on my knees.

I know that God knows my heart.

He has known from the very start,

In my heart, I am on my knees.

I anticipate Heaven, where I will be knelt,

Before my Lord, professing it heartfelt,

Always, in my heart, I was on my knees!
