DOWN ON MY KNEES (Eb) 4/4
Words: Mosie Lister (1947)

Oh, thank you so much. My Dad and Mom used to sing that song back in the 1940s as they traveled the U. S. singing and preaching. I had forgotten the words.

Thank you for having "Down on My Knees". God bless you!

thank u so much for this song46g2z

I've got the music scanned into a document if you would like to send me your email address. This song is one of my favorites. If you would like, send me an email to [email protected], I would be more than happy to send it to you.

I have also been looking for this song, now I need music. It has been many years and I cannot remember.

Thank you! I was surprised to see so many others searching for the words. They are just what I remembered, but thought there may be a 3rd verse.

DOWN ON MY KNEES

1. ONCE I WANDERED ALONE IN BLACKNESS OF NIGHT, ONCE I STRUGGLED A-LONG FAR FROM GOD AND RIGHT; THEN I SAW I WAS LOST AND IN MY DESPAIR, I FELL UPON MY KNEES IN PRAYER

CHORUS:

'WAY DOWN ON MY KNEES' WAY DOWN
I WAS DOWN ON MY KNEES, DOWN ON MY

ON MY KNEES PRAYING TO MY LORD EVERY DAY PRAYING
KNEES PRAYING TO MY LORD EV'RY DAY, I WAS PRAYING TO

TO MY LORD JESUS, HEAR ME PLEASE, TAKE ALL MY BURDEN AWAY
JESUS TO HEAR ME PLEASE, AND TAKE MY HEAVY BURDEN AWAY

SATAN TRIED TO SAY THE BIBLE WAS A LIE, THAT
OLD SATAN TRIED TO TELL ME,THE BIBLE WAS A LIE THAT

JESUS DID NOT CARE, AND I WOULD DIE; STAYED DOWN
JESUS DID NOT LOVE ME , AND I WAS DOOMED TO DIE,BUT I STAYED ON

ON MY KNEES,'WAY DOWN ON MY KNEES, HE TOOK MY BURDEN AWAY
MY KNEES, STAYED ON MY KNEES, JESUS TOOK MY BURDENS AWAY

2. I HAD FALLEN SO LOW IN SIN AND IN SHAME, THAT IT SEEMED ALMOST HOPELESS TO TRUST HIS NAME, BUT I LIFTED MY VOICE AND CRIED IN DESPAIR AND JESUS HEARD MY HUMBLE PRAYER

REPEAT CHORUS:

I THINK IT IS CALLED ''DOWN ON MY KNEES''

this song is an old gospel hymn if that would help.
