Every time I fall down on my face 
I see the one who bore all my shame 
To know that you are everything I need you to be 
You're my ever present help in time of need 

I know you understand it all 
So why don't I get back on my feet again 
Every pain I feel inside my heart 
It takes a faith I know I can't depart 

To know that you hear every cry I raise to you 
Bringing thoughts of hope the words I bring I know are few 

I know you understand it all 
So why don't I get back on my feet again 
You hear me when I call 
You're there when I fall 
You hear me when I call 

I know you understand it all 
So why don't I get back on my feet again
