From the recording Sounds of Heaven
This song is in memory of my late mother Mrs Abisoye Sariu Taiwo Afoke who was the prayer warrior in our home. I have fond memories of being taken to all night prayer in London many eons ago, and thinking can we just go home 😄
Often our lives are shaped by those who are willing to sacrifice and pay the price of the Secret Place. Thank you so much mum for taking us often to: A Country Called Knee’s.
Lyrics
A COUNTRY CALLED KNEES
THERE IS A PLACE WHERE I OFTEN GO
TO WORSHIP THE KING & POUR OUT MY SOUL
THERE IS A PLACE
FOR THOSE WHO CALL HEAVEN THEIR HOME
SO COME WITH ME AND WE WILL GO
TO A PLACE I’VE DISCOVERED
WHERE HURT AND PAIN ARE LEFT BEHIND
AND JOY IS EVERLASTING
SOME SAY THERE IS NO SUCH PLACE
I CAN ONLY SMILE AT HIS WARM EMBRACE
IT’S AMAZING HOW IT HAPPENS
IN A MOMENT I’ll BE THERE
IF I COULD JUST SINK TO MY KNEES
IN A MOMENT I’ll BE THERE
WHEN WE GO TO A COUNTRY CALLED KNEE’S
WE CAN WORSHIP THE LORD AS WE PLEASE
WHEN WE GO TO GODS COUNTRY
TO OUR SECRET PLACE
I AM LOST IN THE FATHER’S EMBRACE
LIFE IS COLD AND NO ONE CARES
AND THERE ARE TERRORS AT EVERY CORNER
BUT I HAVE FOUND YOUR SECRET PLACE
NOW I CANT HOLD BACK ANY LONGER
STILL SOME SAY THERE IS NO SUCH PLACE
I CAN ONLY BOW AT HIS WARM EMBRACE
ITS AMAZING HOW IT HAPPENS
IT’S AMAZING HOW IT HAPPENS
IN A MOMENT I’ll BE THERE
IF I COULD JUST SINK TO MY KNEES
IN A MOMENT I’ll BE THERE
WHEN WE GO TO A COUNTRY CALLED KNEE’S
WE CAN WORSHIP THE LORD AS WE PLEASE
WHEN WE GO TO GODS COUNTRY
TO OUR SECRET PLACE
I AM LOST IN THE FATHER’S EMBRACE
IT’S AMAZING HOW IT HAPPENS
AMAZING HOW IT HAPPENS
IT’S AMAZING HOW IT HAPPENS
AMAZING HOW IT HAPPENS
WHEN IT HAPPENS, I’II BE THERE
WHEN IT HAPPENS, I’II BE THERE
WHEN IT HAPPENS , I’II BE THERE
