Bow the Knee

There are moments on our journey following the Lord
When God illumines every step we take
There are times when circumstances make perfect sense to us
As we try to understand each move He makes but
When the path grows dim
And our questions have no answers
Turn to Him

Bow the knee
Trust the heart of your Father
When the answer goes beyond what you can see
Bow the knee
Lift your eyes toward heaven
And believe the one who holds eternity
When you don't understand
The purpose of His plan
In the presence of your King
Bow the knee

There are days when clouds surround us
The rain begins to fall
And the cold and lonely winds won't cease to blow
There seems to be no reason
For the suffering we feel
We are tempted to believe God does not know
When the storms arise
Don't forget we live by faith
And not by sight

Bow the knee
Trust the heart of your Father
When the answer goes beyond what you can see
Bow the knee
Lift your eyes toward heaven
And believe the one who holds eternity
When you don't understand
The purpose of His plan
In the presence of your King
Bow the knee

Words & Music by Chris Machen & Mike Harland

* Bow the Knee has been a song I would listen to when I was ready to give up, because I didn't understand what or why I was dealing with all the things going on during the last year and a half. Every time I listened to this song I was reminded of something different, and I pray God will use these lyrics to draw you closer to Him today.

Check out the video to hear the song. The video is not about 9/11, so please don't let the picture keep you from watching the video & hearing the song. That's just a shot & a very small piece during the five minutes of the song. A warning though...it's powerful and you might want a tissue. Well, worth it!
