On His Knees
My father was well respected, in the town where I was raised
Folks knew that he was honest, he made sure they knew, that he was saved
To me, he was a giant, daddy stood past 6 foot 3.
But my dad was never taller than, when he, was on his knees
Chorus
'Cause on His knees, he fought the battles, with the devil himself
And on his knees, he and Jesus, took care of the family
All the things that he showed me, ever live in my memory
But the one thing I remember most, is daddy on his knees
He stood by what he believed in, He wouldn't back down from a fight
But he always did his fighting, right there at his bedside every night
He never was the hero, to the world he was to me
But I saw a side of daddy that most folks couldn't see
