I kneel to you, Lord.

 I Kneel to You, Lord

A Reflection on Philippians 2:10, Psalm 95:6, and Romans 14:11

I kneel to You, Lord—not out of fear or dread,

But in awe of who You are, the One who bled.

My knees find the floor, my heart finds its place,

As I bow before the glory of Your face.

Come, let us worship and bow down, let us kneel before the Lord our Maker. (Psalm 95:6)

I kneel—not because I am forced to bend,

But because Your love has won me, my defender and my friend.

The posture of my body mirrors the posture of my soul:

Surrendered, yielded, trusting, made whole.

At the name of Jesus, every knee will bow,

In heaven, on earth, and under the earth, somehow.

But my kneeling is not reluctant; it is not a demand.

It is the joyful response of a heart in Your hand.

At the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth. (Philippians 2:10)

So I kneel in gratitude for the cross, for the grace,

For the mercy that meets me in this sacred place.

I kneel in weakness, knowing You are strong.

I kneel in silence, and there I belong.

I kneel to You, Lord—not just with my frame,

But with my spirit, my will, my everything I claim.

Receive my kneeling, Lord, as worship true.

I kneel to You. I give my all to You.

As surely as I live, says the Lord, every knee will bow before Me. (Romans 14:11)

Amen.
