Bow The Knee - Paula Orr

(Words and music by Chris Machen and Mike Harland)

There are moments on this journey,
Following the Lord, when God illumines every step we take;
There are times when circumstances make perfect sense to us
As we try to understand each move He makes.
But when the path grows dim,
And our questions have no answers, turn to Him.

Chorus:

Bow the knee. Trust the heart of your Father,
When the answer goes beyond what you can see
Bow the knee, lift your eyes toward heaven
And believe the One Who holds eternity.
When you don't understand
The purpose of His plan;
In the presence of your King, bow the knee.

There are days when clouds surround us,
The rain begins to fall,
And the cold and lonely winds won't cease to blow;
And there seems to be no reason
For the suffering we feel,
We are tempted to believe God doesn't know.
When the storms arise,
Don't forget we live by faith and not by sight.
