Hands And Knees



Words by Megan Knight
Music by Ben Lueders

God, I've slowly lost you...
And sometimes you feel so far away
As if these feeble arms could reach across the sea
And I would still be
Here - scraping hands and knees
scraping hands and knees


God, I've tried to earn you...
And sometimes I really think I might
As if these filthy rags could somehow justify me
But I would still be
Here - scraping hands and knees
scraping hands and knees

God, I've tried running...
And sometimes I'm convinced and blind
As if these slow and wandering feet could bring me glory
No, I would still be
Here - scraping hands and knees
scraping hands and knees

Oh yes, I fall
And sometimes,
sometimes it's such a long way down
Yes, I fail,
And sometimes,
sometimes I lose my crown
Just scraping hands and knees
scraping hands and knees

Finding you to help me up again
All my wounds cross bore by one man
Just piercing hands and feet
Just scraping hands and knees
