Knocking Lyrics by Sowl Brown

The Essence of Life

2019

I'm knocking on heavens door
I'm not gon let you leave yet father until you bless me
(heyy)

[Chorus]
I'm knocking I'm knocking yes Father open up
The son who got lost is back home
Dont take your spirit from me
The weight of this world is on me
I'm dropping I'm falling o Lord help me

[Verse]
Looking at the mirror I can see your love
Table set before me I can feel your touch
Never thought that I could come this far
Where my past had me living on a thread of life
I fell down and I stood up
Fell again and I stood up
I though that I had it all
Never know that I had It none
I thought I was enough for myself in this world
Was driven by the pain of the ones that I've lost
But I know now that I failed
So I'm running back to you

[Chorus]

Lord help me
I'm falling down
From my flaws
I thought I had it all under control
I thought I knew what path I was walking on
I was at war with my will and yours
I was afraid of what my friends would say
I was tired of the rain I needed some sun
They said that I was blessed but couldn't sell a song
They said I wouldn't make it
I will never last long
But in you I'm standing on and I'm going so strong
I call you G O D
Took away miseries
Rose you standard up at the face of my storm
I call you Jesus
Lamb that was slain for me
None could ever love me like the way that you do

[Chorus x2]
