Bended Knees Lyrics


This is serious, oh
So serious man, oh
We never needed You before, we need You right now
Need You right now, oh
People are dying, losing the faith
Even the chosen have fallen from grace, oh
We got the blind leading the blind
Lord knows I'm tryin' what I've been assigned, Lord
I'll say it all, oh Lord
I'm down on my bended knee, yeah
(I'm on my bended knees, I'm on my bended knees
I'm on my bended knees asking You to help us please)
Down on my bended knees, yeah, whoo
(I'm on my bended knees, I'm on my bended knees
I'm on my bended knees asking You to help us please)

I'm praying on bended knees
Have mercy, Lord have mercy, oh
I said, Lord
I'm just tryin' to intercede, yeah
Sometimes I feel like I'm standing alone
But I know there are soldiers that's still holdin' on
Now what we really Lord, is help from up high
If You don't have mercy, so many souls will die
I'm sayin' oh, oh, yeah
I'm on my bended knees, yeah, hey, yeah
(I'm on my bended knees, I'm on my bended knees
I'm on my bended knees asking you to help us please)
I'm on bended knees
(I'm on my bended knees, I'm on my bended knees
I'm on my bended knees asking you to help us please)
Oh, lord, I'm prayin'
(I'm praying on bended knees)
Somebody's prayin
(Have mercy, Lord have mercy)
Oh Lord, I'm just tryin' to intercede, yeah
I'm down on my bended knees
I'm asking You to have mercy
Somebody gotta intercede
We need Your help in a hurry
Got people in high places with their hands dirty
And the world can't get no help
Because they're taking all the money
I'm rocking in the wilderness
Only You can clean up the mess
Sin I know you refuse to bless
Got to get on my knees and confess
Oh Lord, I, I know You see
I'm on my, I'm on my bended knees
Oh, y'all let me preach
Yeah, lower than I've ever been, knees upon a concrete
Lord, I'm tryna fight this fight but ain't no one behind me
I just need a sound please Lord, it's getting dark here
Come just shine a Pentecost so I walk in no fear
And make me the hands, and You the only lifeline
Church comes in the morning but it's looking like it's May time
I'll never let him go, Celine Dion
He said, "I'm the light in the darkness", neon
And [Incomprehensible] bow way
And so bended knees, Lord I begin to pray
Yeah, Pray
Oh, Lord, I'm on bended knees
(I'm on my bended knees, I'm on my bended knees
I'm on my bended knees asking You to help us please)
Come teach me, for nobody but me
(I'm on my bended knees, I'm on my bended knees
I'm on my bended knees asking You to help us please)
I'm prayin' for a family
I'm prayin' for the children

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
Born and raised in the Motor City , Haddon was another gospel child prodigy, both as minister and musician. He gave his first sermon at the church of his father, Bishop Clarence Haddon, at age 11, and was directing the choir by age 13.

Haddon began his recording career in the mid 90s with the Voices of Unity on the small Tyscot label. As the group leader for their three albums, Haddon expressed his forward looking musical view, merging elements of soul, hip-hop and funk in the group's Gospel music. VOU had some mild success on the Gospel charts, but by the late 90s Haddon was ready to move more clearly front and center as a solo artist. His first two solo albums, This is My Story and Chainbreaker continued his artistic development and made some moderate noise on the Gospel charts.

However, I’m not sure that even the devoted fan base he had been accumulating could have anticipated his late 2002 release, Lost and Found, his first on giant Gospel label Verity. A project as ambitious as Tonex’s noted debut, Pronounced Toe-Nay, Lost and Found is an exhaustive, inspired opus by a Gospel artist who, with its release, clearly declared himself a new Gospel star.

The disc begins sounding like a dance Gospel album, leading off with two funky numbers, “D.D.” and “Oh Yeah” (the latter featuring the ubiquitous Fred Hammond). From there it covers broad territory, including bluesy, southern soul (“Ain’t Got Nothing” and the radio hit, “Sinner’s Prayer”), Praise & Worship (“Worship Medley”), Prince-style electric soul (“It’s Me”), big ballads (“Stand Still”) and joyous calypso (“The Praises Go (Up, Up, Up)”). Haddon is literally bursting with musical ideas on the album and, amazingly, virtually all work. Equally impressive is the strong lyrical content of the disc – much of it autobiographical -- focusing principally on the power of redemption and the ability of faith to rescue lost or miscast souls.

It took me almost two months to review Lost and Found, mostly because it took so long to fully absorb such an ambitious project. Now I can clearly say that this stands, with Mary Mary’s “Thankful” and Tonex’s “O2,” as perhaps the definitive modern Gospel album of this decade, and is a must for both Soul and Gospel lovers.
