Susan Ashton Album: The Ultimate Collection Track: Down on My Knees
Down on My Knees Lyrics
I've got a witness not too stable It wouldn't get me very far I've got one hand on the table And one in the cookie jar I've got sins that need eviction From a temple that's a wreck I've got a chain of contradiction Hanging around my neck So I go down, I go down, down I go down on my knees
I feel the bitter winds grow colder They are dancing with my pride I've got a chip on my shoulder Bigger than a mountainside And these claws of human nature Hold me tight within their clasp I'm not worthy of forgiveness But I just had to ask So I go down, I go down, down I go down on my knees
(Chorus) Feed my hunger - slake my thirst For a spiritual rebirth Light my darkness Move in me Make me more than what you see As I go down on my knees
When I've all but killed the fire And my soul's in desperate need But I wallow in the mire of complacency That's when I go down on my knees I want to taste the fruit I'm missing And yet I feast only on the bread My desire's alive and kicking But my drive is dead So I go down on my knees
(Chorus)
You bear the weight of condemnation Cleansing with the blood of truth So with my humble acclamation I want to give myself to you So I go down, I go down, down I go down on my knees I go down, I go down, yea I go down on my knees I go down, I go down, down I go down on my knees
