On Bended Knees

 

Sons don’t want to cry
It’s weak
Daughters don’t want to fall
Because it’s weak

But daughter don’t you know
The strongest you’ll ever be
Is when falling on your knees
You want to be strong
Valiant
And brave
Steadfast
But your place of weakness is my platform of glory
You aren’t strong for standing tall
For all

Daughter your strength,
your steady
It’s your steps that come to the cross
It’s your knees at the throne
Your heart sunk in humility
Your hands lifted unto heaven
The echo of your song in every space

Your strength is your
staying
Your strength- It’s the beam of my presence radiating from your face, dripping from your words

A woman who worships
She is strong
In the storm
In the valley
On the stage
On the summit


A woman who doesn’t just walk with the Lord but says okay when He says “it’s time to let me carry you”

“This battle field, you won’t get through it walking
No but surely I am with you
And if you stand down
I’ll stand up
I’ll be your GOD
The God of David. Jacob. And Israel
The one who delivers
And redeems“

Strong is the woman who knows she’s only human
Strong is she who knows the real power in the hands of her God

Son don’t you know
Your greatest strength
Is a soul sensitive to my Spirit
What grieves my heart
Moves yours
Triggers your tears
Is a reflection of the depth in which you wade
In me

No more powerful is a man lost in the holy presence of the Lord
No stronger is a man whose close enough to my heart to shed a tear when it hurts and when it dances for celebration
A man who is soft to my voice
He it is whose hands are anointed

To heal the hurting
To touch the broken
Setting ablaze the nations with contagious wholeness
It’s him who sees through the eyes of my hope
Whose mouth I fill with utterances of wisdom, revelation, and glory
To preach the good news
To declare freedom to the captives
To speak life
Son don’t you know I’ve made you fiercely
I’ve made you for this fight

You aren’t strong when you stand tall
for all
With a face without fear

Strong is the man who knows he’s only man
Strong is the man who knows he needs the God who became like Adam, coming down in flesh
To redeem his body, mind, and soul

Strong is the man who sings
With all of creation
To the God to whom He loves
Without shame
He is strong
In the storm
In the valley
On the stage
On the summit

Strong is the man who walks daily with the Lord but who answers okay when the Lord says 
“Shed tears in times of pain
Shout joys in times of victory“

He who opens his heart to feel and mouth to speak
He is my son

Those who walk in humble acknowledgment
Before all
Of their weaknesses
are those who walk
Steady
And strong
It is they who carry the mantle of kingdom call
Who become the pillars for the others
And leaders for the Lord

“So sons cry and daughters fall
For then you will be
strong and courageous children”
