Undo Me
Jennifer Knapp Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Apa I think I messed up again was it something I did?
Was it something I said?
I don't mean to do you wrong it's just this way of human nature!

Sister I know I let you down.
I can tell by the fact you're never comin round..
You don't have to say a thing..
I can tell by your eyes exactly what you mean.
That it's time to get down on my knees and pray.
Lord undo me put away this flesh and bone til you own this spirit threw me.
Lord undo me.
Mama I know I made you cry, but I never meant to hurt ya.
I never meant to lie.
While the world shook it's head in shame I let you take the blame.
Brother I know you labored so hard to please..
But I cut you down and I left you on your knees...well I know it must be...
I am wanting, needing, guilty & greedy. Unrighteous, unholy undo me.




Abba father you must wonder why more time than Peter I have denied.
Three nails and a cross to prove I owe my Life eternally to you!

Jennifer Knapp popped in my head 10 min ago. I’m 52 from Florida. She def had her own style that I loved so much. Reminds me of good times in my faith. Wherever she is I pray God lets her know how much He loves her and how much she blessed me and so many. ❀

I can't even begin to describe what her album Kansas did for me in my walk with God. Forever grateful for this artist.

@BreezeeGreenz

Her whole Kansas Album was absolutely beautiful.

@ericaruggles6309

Still listening in 2022. I miss Jennifer Knapp music.

@Rekko82

This music video is awesome. She needs only guitar, faith, music, and lots of love to make this all happen. The song itself is a classic, one of the best ever.

@BreezeeGreenz

Absolutely. The whole Kansas album was spectacular.

This is one of the first Christian music songs I heard when I landed on wgrc in Central PA whilst scanning on a car stereo in the mid 2000s. I've listened to Christian music since and dig Lord Undo me today as much as the first time I heard it!! ❀❀❀

Love the song. I wish she’d turn from sun however. She needs to heed her own lyrics.
