I could walk a million miles or swim a thousand seas I could climb the highest mountain or explore the oceans deep I could lift my hands in worship Sing a worship melody But the closest I can get you is down on my knees I could feed a hundred thousand or set the captives free I could help a man in trouble or cure a dread disease I could give to the less fortunate The blessings I’ve received That would not draw me closer than being down on my knees Down on my knees there is healing Down on my knees there is peace Down on my knees there are springs of joy Down on my knees I’m set free Down on my knees He will hear me Every time I cry out in prayer When I’m down on my knees for others I can know He is always right there Help me humble myself Put my flesh in its place Help me cry out to you Down on my knees in prayer
The Psalmist 
Powerful, wonderful and needed words shared. Prayer, can change us and the world around us. Amazing poetry.

All of do. Poor world need the good people to pray for calmness. Need the good people to overtake the voices of hate. I lost my father in January, a preacher, police officer and great father/grandfather. He would tell us. Quit fighting, start talking and let’s work together to heal our world.. Your poem was wonderful and you are welcome.
