When I Fall to My Knees

When I fall to my knees
When I’m there on the floor
I grow taller in stature
Than ever before

When I fall to my knees
With my face to the ground
He raises my eyes
To the light of His crown

When I’m folding my hands
My arms are outstretched
And I’m fingering words
On the tablets He etched

When I whisper a prayer
I am shouting His praise
When I lower my eyes
It’s my heart that I raise

When I humbly bow
It’s more noble a pose
Than the regal demeanor
Of the time honored rose

When I knock on His door
I’m inviting Him in
And He willingly comes
To relinquish my sin

With shades of humility
Drawn on my face
When I stoop to His feet
There’s no loftier place

When I’m kneeling in prayer
When I’m trembling with fears
What seeps out of my eye
Is the sweetest of tears

When I fall to my knees
I am rising above
All the scorn of the earth
To His heavenly Love
