Lyrics
We thought our own hands
Could carry the day.
We fought every battle
The very same way.
Round and around
Till our strength finally fell.
That's where it started...
When we finally
The answers were waiting.
We just couldn't see.
He never abandoned
The ones we could be.
Mercy was closer
Than we ever felt.
Hope found our hearts
When we finally knelt.
When we finally knelt,
He lifted the load.
When we finally knelt,
He opened the road.
The walls didn't vanish.
The journey stayed long.
But He gave us the strength
To keep moving on.
When we finally knelt...
We found where we belong.
One step in faith.
One prayer at a time.
One hand from Heaven
Reaching into our lives.
He softened the hearts
We never could change.
Sometimes the answer
Comes a different way.
He heard every prayer
Before we could see.
He carried tomorrow
While teaching belief.
The door wasn't opened
The day that we cried...
It opened because
He was there all the time.
When we finally knelt,
Our eyes finally saw.
When we finally knelt,
We stood there in awe.
The burden grew lighter.
Our hope grew strong.
He'd been walking beside us
All along.
When we finally knelt...
We finally came home.
