On My Knees began as I thought about what mattered in my caregiving journey. What mattered, at that moment, was taking care of my husband.

In 2023, there were nights when the weight of that responsibility felt overwhelming. Days when the dream of what life used to be shattered against the reality of what it had become. Days when the road ahead felt like one only I could walk. 

Out of that space came these lyrics:

There’s a road I have traveled

That no one else would dare

No one else wants my worn out

Shoes or graying hair

Or my knees, or my knees

No one else wants to fall, on my knees

The road I walked was one no one else could walk for me. When I needed clarity, I found myself on my knees, reaching out to God with the weight of the day. Falling there became the place where surrender and strength met. Another place to get back up.

If you’ve ever reached for help beyond yourself, this song is for you

What makes you drop to your knees — and get back up?
Let me know.
