Lyrics
Troubles chasing me again,
Breaking down my best defence,
I'm looking, God, I'm looking for you
Weary just won't let me rest
And fear is filling up my head.
I'm longing, God I'm longing for you
But I will find you in the place I'm in,
Find you when I'm at my end,
Find you when there's nothing left of me to offer you except for brokenness.
You lift me up, you'll never leave me thirsty,
When I am weak, when I am lost and searching
I'll find you on my knees.
So what if sorrow shakes my faith,
And what if heartache still remains?
I'll trust you, my god I'll trust you.
'Cause You are faithful and I will...
Find you in the place I'm in,
Find you when I'm at my end,
Find you when there's nothing left of me to offer you except for brokenness.
You lift me up, you'll never leave me thirsty,
When I am weak, when I am lost and searching
Find you on my knees, my knees.
When my hope is gone,
When the fear is strong
When the pain is real,
When it's hard to heal
When my faith is shaken
And my heart is broken
And my joy is stolen,
God I know that...
[Regular version:] You lift me up, you'll never leave me searching,
[Acoustic version:] You lift me up, you'll never leave me thirsty,
Find you in the place I'm in,
Find you when I'm at my end,
Find you when there's nothing left of me to offer you except for brokenness.
You lift me up, you'll never leave me thirsty,
When I am weak, when I am lost and searching
I'll find you on my knees.

Meaning & Inspiration
Find You On My Knees portrays prayer as the place where distress, weakness, and trust meet. Trouble, weariness, fear, and heartbreak are named without pretending that faith removes them immediately. The central image of kneeling presents brokenness not as a barrier to God but as the point from which the singer seeks divine presence. Repeated assurances that God lifts, sustains, and remains near give the song a steady answer to its catalogue of pain.
The lyric may be connected with biblical promises of divine nearness to the brokenhearted and rest for those carrying heavy burdens. Its language also reflects the pattern in which weakness becomes an occasion for reliance on grace rather than personal strength. Even when hope, joy, and confidence appear shaken, the song keeps returning to trust in the faithfulness of God. The title therefore summarizes both posture and conviction: prayer is not presented as an escape from sorrow, but as a way of finding God within it.
