Description

Lyrics- For this cause I bow my knee,
for this cause I bow my knee to the Father of our Lord, Jesus Christ.

That He would grant you strength according to His riches by His Spirit,
by His Spirit,
by His Spirit in the inner man.

For this cause I bow my knee,
for this cause I bow my knee to the Father of our Lord, Jesus Christ.

Hearts by faith;
you in love, understand,
all the saints depth, depth and fullness of His love!
Oh1 And to know, to know the love of Christ, love of Christ,
and the fullness, and the fullness of the Lord!

For this cause I bow my knee;
for this cause I bow my knee to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ;
to the Father of our Lord, Jesus Christ.

For This Cause

Music by Drew Roth

For this cause I bow my knee,
for this cause I bow my knee to the Father of our Lord, Jesus Christ.

That He would grant you strength according to His riches by His Spirit,
by His Spirit,
by His Spirit in the inner man.

For this cause I bow my knee,
for this cause I bow my knee to the Father of our Lord, Jesus Christ.

Hearts by faith;
you in love, understand,
all the saints depth, depth and fullness of His love!
Oh! And to know, to know the love of Christ, love of Christ,
and the fullness, and the fullness of the Lord!

For this cause I bow my knee;
for this cause I bow my knee to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ;
to the Father of our Lord, Jesus Christ.

Story Behind the Song

This appears to be a modern choral Scripture setting of Paul's prayer in Ephesians 3, beginning with the words, "For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ." The text centers on the apostolic prayer for inner strengthening by the Spirit, Christ dwelling in believers' hearts by faith, and knowledge of the love and fullness of God. I do not have enough verified publication data to give a date, lyricist, or hymnal history.
