The Power Of Bended Knee

Written by Brooke-Lauren Montgomery

 

 

 

When you see me on my knees, it doesn't mean I'm weak,

I'm getting stronger--through trials and temptations,

It's God's Face that I seek.

 

I've been a witness, and I have seen

What sight would take to believe,

The Power behind the bended knee.

 

When you see me on my knees, it doesn't mean I'm frail,

I'm getting stronger--through joy and through pain,

I have learned that in Him will I always prevail.

 

I have felt the indescribable Peace

When I've cried out in utter desperation

On my knees--my burdens I release.

 

When you see me on my knees, it doesn't mean I'm defeated,

For many pleading prayers are answered there,

Through His Word, my soul is completed.


 

Like hinges straining from the massive weight,

My heart shudders, almost stops in place,

Just before the strength bursts forth, and my  mind is set straight.

 

When you see me on my knees, it doesn't mean I've given up,

I'm getting stronger--through the darkest night,

He mends my ailing heart, smoothes out every hiccup.

 

Hope and Love spread through my heart like roots on a healthy tree--

I am amazed at what I see and what I feel

When limitless Power surges through bended knee.
