Pray When You Kneel
 

It saddens me to see the way

Our sports heroes act today

They use the support of the game they play

To cause chaos in a special way.

They say they want to take a knee

To show the sins of you and me

But unless as they kneel they pray

I can’t see that this helps

In any way.

It’s just become another fad

Something that makes most people sad.

It doesn’t even any score

And just separates us even more.

Christians "take a knee" every day

When they kneel by their beds to pray.

No cameras or lights are on

There is no music and no song

Just a prayer to our Father above

To let us show the world His love.

There is no prerequisite for color

No certain salary one needs to receive

Just that when you kneel and speak to God

In His Son, Jesus, you believe.

When I "take a knee" I praise the Father

For all He's done for me

And I think Him that because of His Son

We can live eternally.

So tonight before you close your eyes

Don't fret about the things you can't undo

But concentrate on God's Holy Word

And the tasks assigned to you.
