I fall down on my knees

Standing alone down by the shore

Watching, waiting, wishing for more

Wanting you to take hold of me now

So, do I fall down on my knees or take a bow

 

I lift up Holy hands and call upon Your name

Crying, whispering I need You if it’s all the same

Wanting You to hear my cry even in the dark

Faintly in the distance somewhere I can hear a dog bark

 

Shuffling my feet along in the softness of the sand

You are Lord of all the sea, creatures and of man

The wind is throwing a gentle breeze my way

And I feel that here at least You will have Your say

 

For now, I am content just to listen to You speak

As I wait, I can’t seem to talk, let alone squeak

Your presence is here right in this place

I can feel Your love and Your overflowing grace

 

I then feel an urge to fall down on my knees

With tears streaming down my face, I can hardly breathe

Your presence, Your Holy Spirit is so strong

I know that with You deep down is where I belong

 

I can hear hardly a soul, or let alone a pin drop

Anyone walking by me would possibly stop

And wonder if I had gone insane

They would have no idea my love for You remains

 

I am on my knees; I have no idea for how long

But Your beautiful presence around me is so strong

I can’t bear to move I so love to feel You near

Whispering, breathing down into my ears

 

As I wait, I can feel raindrops falling down my back

I smile and laugh and I realise that I have nothing to lack

For with You I have everything I need

My heart’s desire, Your nearness is so strong, this feels like Holy fire

 

The rain starts pouring down, but I don’t care

I can even feel the raindrops running through my hair

I close my eyes and start to praise You more

I feel it is important for You to know it is You that I adore

 

I stand up with arms outstretched, I start to dance

The shoreline empty, no-one would give me a second glance

All I long for and need is the very presence of You Lord

I can feel You deep down cutting through the core

 

I keep smiling and give a mighty shout

I don’t care for as long as I can tell, there’s not a single soul about

I stop and take a look out at the sea beyond

I know that between You and me, there is a deep bond
