The King of Glory ‎#51

51. On My Knees

1 Upon my knees before the throne,
I love to talk with God alone,
I know He hears, I know He sees
Me as I wait upon my knees.

Refrain:
Upon my knees, upon my knees,
I know He hears, I know He sees;
My faith grows strong, the tempter flees,
While I am there upon my knees.

2 Upon my knees I find relief,
From ev’ry sorrow care and grief,
Christ lifts my load with greatest ease
While I am waiting, on my knees. [Refrain]

3 Upon my knees He gives me grace
To run with patience, life’s short race,
My strength renewed, my weakness leaves
While I am there upon my knees. [Refrain]

4 Upon my knees, a soft retreat,
His Spirit guides me—O how sweet,
His presence seemed a heav’nly breeze
And thrills me there upon my knees. [Refrain]
