ON BENDED KNEE © Robert C Burnham On bended knee you placed my name Before the Throne of God without any shame And although I lived troubled and wild You asked the Lord to remember me, His child On bended knee my life was spared The words you whispered for Jesus to hear Because of your faith, He rewarded thee Lifting me up from your bended knee You pleaded my case though it was riddled in sin Lost in my darkness with no way to win But on the wings of cherubim your words got through And now I walk in the Light, grateful to you On bended knee you offered many prayers Interceding for me with your love and tears Your unconditional love reflecting the Lord's own You brought me to Jesus and Jesus brought me home On bended knee you gave thanks for my life Praising the Lord for opening my sight Even as I thought I had wandered too far away You never gave up, but knelt low and prayed Then God reached down His merciful hand And placed my soul back into His perfect plan "My child," He said, "You now belong to me Your loving friends stood up for you, on bended knee!" Then, on bended knee, I fell down My tears of joy flowing all around No more would I be a lost troubled soul This wayward sheep was back in the fold. On bended knee, now I too go to pray Always thanking the Father for that special day I pray it is His will, that like you I will be Praying for a lost soul, upon bended knee.
