Down on My Knees
[Verse 1]
Eb Ab
Once I wandered along in blackness of night
Bb Eb
Once I struggled alone far from God and right
Ab
Then I saw I was lost and, in my despair,
Eb Bb Eb
I fell upon my knees in prayer
[Chorus]
Eb Ab
I was down on my knees down on my knees
Eb Bb
Praying to my Lord every day
Eb Ab
I was praying to Jesus to hear me please
Eb Bb Eb
Take my heavy burdens away
Bb Eb
Old satan tried to say the Bible was a lie
F Bb
That Jesus did not love me, and I was doomed to die
Eb Ab
But I stayed on my knees down on my knees
Eb Bb Eb
Jesus took my burdens away
[Verse 2]
Eb Ab
I had fallen so low in sin and in shame
Bb Eb
That it seemed almost hopeless to trust His name
Ab
But I lifted my voice and cried in despair
Eb Bb Eb
And Jesus heard my humble prayer
[Chorus]
Eb Ab
I was down on my knees down on my knees
Eb Bb
Praying to my Lord every day
Eb Ab
I was praying to Jesus to hear me please
Eb Bb Eb
Take my heavy burdens away
Bb Eb
Old satan tried to say the Bible was a lie
F Bb
That Jesus did not love me, and I was doomed to die
Eb Ab
But I stayed on my knees down on my knees
Eb Bb Eb
Jesus took my burdens away
