prayin' knees (2011)

I did something I never do
Three months ago, today
I got down on my battered knees
and bowed my head to pray

God, I said, I know this prayer's
a little overdue
But I'm all out of options
so I've gotta turn to you

I told Him I was struggling
I told Him I had failed
I told Him I was sorry, and
I shakily exhaled

And when my voice abandoned me
and tears began to fall
I knelt there silently, not saying
anything at all

I wasn't sure if He had heard
or if He'd even care
But I thought it was worth a shot,
my quiet little prayer

Now here I am, just look at me
I know my God is great
He gave me what I needed most
and set my pathway straight

It's not too late for anyone,
there's nothing He can't do
After all, I too was lost
until He gave me you
