YOUR CHILD ON BENDED KNEE

In the darkness this morning

I knelt down to pray

I asked the Lord to help me

Face another day

The trials I would be facing

I could not go alone

I asked my Father up above

If He could spare some time

I need you Lord to tell me

Send an answer to me soon

Help me not to stumble

As I knelt there in my room.

Once again my Father

Whispered in my ear

I’m right here beside you

You’ve nothing to fear.

All alone this morning

I realized just then

He’s always been there waiting

He’s my forever friend

He’s the Master of my universe

The one who sees me through

He gives me all the strength

When I’m lost for what to do.

When I reached out and asked

He held me in His grasp

I’m not afraid of anything

With Him by my side

He’s there to gently guide

I look to Him with pride.

You are my Lord and Savior

You’re everything to me

I thank you now my Father

Your child on bended knee.
