Update #1: A City on its Knees Lyrics
A City on its Knees © 2000Jeff Richfield
Oh Lord hear the cry of the city - You’ve captured our hearts - You brought us
very low to this place . Can you hear the cry of the city?
We callin’ on Your name, Were the church that bears your name . Will you come and heal this land, and breathe on us again?
CHORUS:
We come to pray as a city on its knees Lifting Holy hands to Jesus our King
We seek Your face, we hear Your voice - Today we make the choice - To be a city
on its knees
VERSE 2
Oh Lord bring revival to the city - Unite the fathers to the sons
May their heart beat as one - Send me to the poor and the hungry
Set the captives free, Only You can set them free - Holy Spirit come and
breath, breath on me again
CHORUS REPEAT
BRIDGE: (II Chronicles 7:14)Lord, we are your people, who are called by Your
name
Lord, we want to know you, please forgive our sin and heal our land…

Connected as Jeff Richfield
I am Jeff Richfield and I am a musician and composer of the song "A City on its Knees." The Lord has blessed me with a beautiful family and home in Nashville, Tennessee. Over 10 years ago, during the year 2000, I was caught up in struggles that stretched my faith. With accusations of fraud I had lost my business and nearly lost my family. It was during this season of loss that God showed up with blessings that little did I know would prepare me for a future calling.
Now, over 10 years of waiting, we bring this prayer anthem to you. This is more then a song , "A City on its Knees" is a world-wide movement, it’s a movement of prayer and of action. I have a dream and a mission. My dream is that this video inspires the people of God rise up and kneel in prayer and take action for our nation.
My hope is that you'll do more then listen but that you”ll help us by supporting our mission. I am asking for your prayers and your partnership by doing two things to help us complete the task we believe God has led us to.
#1. Spread the message of this video by sending it through your social networks on Facebook and twitter, and tell your pastors to help us spread the message of A City on its Knees, by becoming a host church that shares the same motivations. I would love to share the heart of my testimony and how God's promise is becoming reality.
#2, that you’ll make a donation today to strengthen this culture changing movement. Whatever you can give will be an act of loving service to help us turn the spiritual tide of America and help us complete this task.
In turn my promise to you is that we will finalize video production and editing, and support worthy causes that stand for the beliefs that this nation was built upon, and through prayer and action, that we will help the victims of the many natural disasters that continue to shake our nation. People, let’s rise up by falling to our knees in prayer – then let’s be an influence to transform our culture by mobilizing cities across America to love and win back our communities to Christ.
Thank you so much for your consideration in this project!
Jeff
