The lyricist says “my inspiration for writing the song, On My Knees Dear Lord, was greatly influenced by meeting and becoming friends with Dr. Daniel Iverson during my teenage and young adult years. Dr. Iverson wrote the words and posed the music for Spirit of the Living God while an active Presbyterian minister. We became friends and he would explain the Bible and many of the Christian doctrines I was struggling to understand. One morning, several years ago, I literally woke up tapping the melody of my song on the nightstand next to my bed. During about a 3-month time period I wrote my song which was an attitude of prayer trying to articulate a simple sincerity of each person’s search for the Creator.”
