99+1

On the outside i appear to be dirty and poor
I have dealt with judgements like yours befor
I cant afford to eat
I cant afford to bathe
My home is under a bridge, its my man cave
You look at me and you think im a thief
That il steal your wallet or take your keys
Or do something that would so easily dis-please.
But have you even bothered to take a knee?
And see me as God see's me?

On the outside i wear fancy clothes
You dont need to say anything i already know
You look at me and think i have everything
But you have no idea what i am going through
You have know idea what i have to do
I feel like im just a piece of meat
Torn by wolves who just need to eat
The money is great but my spirit is weak
I wish someone could take a knee
And ask God to have mercy on me?

On the outside i love money, woman and fun
Deep down inside this is me trying to run
From whatever issues i cant overcome
I swear this is the last time then im done
Il go back home to my wife and  kids
And do everything i never did
If only i knew, that today il be screwd
The house will be empty, my life is through
Im coming back to a broken home 
To find that i am all alone
If only i had taken a knee with the love of my life
Then God could have changed me ages ago

On the outside i have no fashion sense
Its ok you dont have to pretend
I know i dont have many friends
I just want my whole life to end
Im writing a letter sitting here on this seat
Telling my family how i have reached defeat
Is it too late for me to take a knee?
and ask God if he can save me?

Im just another worn out wife
Who got pregnant too young and changed my whole life
Im a mother allday and all night, who trys to make sure everythings allright.
I dont even think my husband thinks much of me
Sometimes im threatened or beaten until i cant breathe
There are countless times he has been unfaithful to me
But every night i am on my knees
Praying he will love me like God loves me 

On the Outside i sit on the fence
I dont know what side im on
I want to serve god but then again i feel like il just do wrong
Im so imperfect, i feel so worthless,
Ive been abused just like this earth has
Whatever love he has for me, i swear i dont deserve it
Im just another unwanted person
Where ever i go who ever i meet
I dont wanna say hi i just wanna retreat 
I have never thought to take a knee and ask my god why he made me?
And why im here upon this land
In a world that i dont understand
Is there really an eternal plan? that he has created for man?

I was told on an ordinery day when i was feeling lost
That Jesus came a long time ago and died upon a cross
So that whatever pain i felt could be healed and whatever sins ive made could be fixed
when he died to overcame the world 
he gave me strength to overcome living the way i did
I can have a change of heart
I can use what ive been through
To help and lift another
Because like Christ we can rise too

I was there, water all around
a missionary by my side
He baptised me in the name of the father and of the son and of the holy ghost, and in that moment me and my fathers joy collide
When you come out of the water, your a beloved son or daughter
Who is finally returning to the fold,
Because someone left the ninty nine and came after the one that our savior talked about long ago

The ones who appear to be dirty or  poor, who are used, abused, dis-abled, deaf, mute or blind,
The ones who have no idea why they are here but they are longing for a truth to find.
The ones who are in need, even the ones who are overcome with sin and greed
The saviors atonement is the most true and divine.
When he took a knee, he bled so we could believe
That our God, our Creator, our Father and our Saviour, prepared a way that will leave not even one of his children behind.
