EVERY KNEE SHALL BOW

Through the shadows of our
hidden shame
Remnants of unwanted memories
remain
Unworthy to be called a child
of God
With our inequities onto which
we still hold

Just as we are - here and now
Every knee shall bow...

Through the storms of life
Amid the ongoing strife
Soldiers fighting wars not
their own
Rulers applying decisions only
unto them are known
In a world where love and hate
collide
Steering our ego - personal pride
Just as we are - here and now
Every knee shall bow...

Like a dear longing for the water
It is You our souls are thirsting
after
You are worthy to be honored
To be lifted up and revered
When in the wee hours of the morn
Emotional battles are reborn
High or low - rich or poor
Your power we simply
cannot ignore
All nations through the seasons
no matter how
In honor of our eternal flame
Every knee shall bow...
