When life deals you a blow
That knocks you off your feet
And your very foundation is shake
Fall upon your knees
When all the emotions inside you
Becomes the bitter tears you drink
And mere words can’t express your heart
Just fall upon your knees.
When it seems you’re all alone
And no one cares for you
And there’s just emptiness inside
Just fall upon your knee
When your heart is crying out
For the answers that you need
And no one can bring you comfort
I beg you fall upon your knees
On your knees you’ll find the answers
To life hurts, disappointments and pain
And your tears will be dried up
By the very one you seek
Because when life deals you a blow
That knocks you off your feet
You’ll find the answer only in Jesus
So just fall upon you knees

I wrote this poem four years ago a little ove a month after my mother died.
I'm so thankful that when we go on our knees before Jesus he listens, he dries our tears, he comforts us... We don't always get the answers that we want but we find the peace that we need.
Trusting Him,
~Bernadine~

ReplyDeleteLove you
Bernadine,
ReplyDeleteI love this, it should be an automatic first response before we ever begin our days is to cry out to God on our knees. What a difference our days would be then!!

Hi Bernadine -
ReplyDeleteThis is such a comfort and great reminder. Thank you for sharing this uplifting poem.
Upon our knees indeed!
Such precious words, love you sweetie.
ReplyDeleteBernadine, you're quite the poet. Even when we can't understand the answer, there certainly is comfort available as we spend time with Him.
ReplyDeleteHello Bernadine,
ReplyDeleteYou were writing from your heart, and that is what really touches people. God bless you,

The words of your poem are like a healing balm to a hurting heart. And like the gentle hug of a mother to a crying child, the words you have written bring such comfort.
ReplyDeleteIt still applies today four years after you have penned the lines.
God's love never runs out, that's for sure.
Love

I love your prayer Bernadine. It's so sad to see people running all over the place, searching for answers that they will never find there. We only have to stay put and 'fall upon our knees'. Thanks for sharing this gem.

My twin is going through an extremely difficult time right now. I know this poem will bless her as much as it has blessed me. I'll be forwarding it to her.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing your heart with us Bernadine!
"I'm so thankful that when we go on our knees before Jesus he listens, he dries our tears, he comforts us... We don't always get the answers that we want but we find the peace that we need." Wow, that's the happy and sad truth.
