Lyrics

Verse 1
When this world gets to me
And I need to find some peace, I need to find some peace
I just speak His name, the name above all names
And He takes my hand and here I go
Oh, here I go

Chorus
I go walking, walking with the Lord on my knees
I go talking, talking with the Lord on my knees

Verse 2
Everyday when I pray I can feel His presence there
Oh, I know He's there
He speaks peace to me and my spirit is set free
And I'm gone again, gone again
Oh, here I go again

Chorus
I go walking, walking with the Lord on my knees
I go talking, talking with the Lord on my knees
(repeat)

Bridge
I just speak His name, the name above all names
And He takes my hand and here I go
Here I go, here I go, here I go again

Chorus
I go walking, walking with the Lord on my knees
I go talking, talking with the Lord on my knees
I go walking, walking with the Lord on my knees
Walking talking, talking with the Lord on my knees

Tag
Everyday when I pray
Walking, talking with the Lord, ooh

Meaning & Inspiration

Released as part of the 2012 album "Twelve," Three Bridges' "Walking With the Lord (On My Knees)" offers a profound and deeply personal exploration of faith, communion, and the quiet strength found in spiritual surrender. The song's genesis appears rooted in the universal human experience of seeking solace amidst life's pressures. When the world feels overwhelming, the lyrics paint a vivid picture of finding refuge not in external solutions, but in the simple, direct invocation of God's name – "the name above all names." This act of speaking His name is presented as a tangible gesture, a hand extended and taken, initiating a journey of profound connection. The central theme revolves around the act of "walking with the Lord on my knees" and "talking with the Lord on my knees." This posture isn't merely physical; it signifies humility, reverence, and a willingness to lay down one's pride and defenses before the divine. It echoes the biblical posture of prayer and supplication, as seen in passages like Psalm 95:6, which implores us to "come, let us bow down in worship, let us kneel before the Lord our Maker." The repeated emphasis on prayer in the second verse, "Everyday when I pray I can feel His presence there," reinforces this intimate dialogue. This isn't a distant, theoretical faith, but a palpable, present reality where God's presence brings peace and sets the spirit free, aligning with promises like Isaiah 26:3: "You will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast, because they trust in you." The bridge reiterates the power of speaking God's name as the catalyst for this spiritual communion, a reminder of the authority and comfort inherent in the divine appellation. The song’s message is a beautiful testament to the transformative power of consistent, humble prayer. It speaks to believers who understand that true strength and peace are found not in self-sufficiency, but in acknowledging our dependence on God and engaging in an ongoing, intimate relationship with Him. This communion is the bedrock of spiritual resilience, enabling us to navigate life's challenges with a steadfast heart and a liberated spirit, a journey illuminated by the unwavering presence and guidance of the Lord.
