Down on My Knees

Verse 1:
Eb                       Ab
Once I wandered along in blackness of night
Bb                              Eb
Once I struggled alone far from God and right
                           Ab
Then I saw I was lost and, in my despair,
  Eb           Bb       Eb
I fell upon my knees in prayer


Chorus:
Eb                     Ab
I was down on my knees down on my knees
Eb                       Bb
Praying to my Lord every day
      Eb                  Ab
I was praying to Jesus to hear me please
Eb            Bb      Eb
Take my heavy burdens away
Bb                         Eb
Old satan tried to say the Bible was a lie
F                                 Bb
That Jesus did not love me, and I was doomed to die
      Eb                 Ab
But I stayed on my knees down on my knees
Eb            Bb      Eb
Jesus took my burdens away

Verse 2:
Eb                         Ab
I had fallen so low in sin and in shame
Bb                                      Eb
That it seemed almost hopeless to trust His name
                                Ab
But I lifted my voice and cried in despair
    Eb             Bb     Eb
And Jesus heard my humble prayer


Chorus:
Eb                     Ab
I was down on my knees down on my knees
Eb                       Bb
Praying to my Lord every day
      Eb                  Ab
I was praying to Jesus to hear me please
Eb            Bb      Eb
Take my heavy burdens away
Bb                         Eb
Old satan tried to say the Bible was a lie
F                                 Bb
That Jesus did not love me, and I was doomed to die
      Eb                 Ab
But I stayed on my knees down on my knees
Eb            Bb      Eb
Jesus took my burdens away
