Knees to Pray


Do you want to know what it's like to be painless?

Could you imagine a way to live shameless?

I thought I knew a way,

But all I'd done is invited a demon out to play.

 

I don't think God intended life to be painless.

Though I do think He's given us a way to live shameless.

So therefore to the demon I say,

"Would you like to join me as I hit my knees to pray?'
