Every Knee
P.O.D. Lyrics

Wherefore, God had highly exalted Him and given Him a name
Jesus Christ has been exalted and given a name above all else by God

Which is above every name
Jesus' name is higher than any other name

And at the feet of Jesus every knee shall bow
Everyone, whether in heaven, on earth, or under the earth, will bow before Jesus

Of things of heaven, of things of earth and things under this earth
This refers to every single thing in existence, without exception

And at the name of Jesus every tongue shall confess that he is King
Everyone will confess that Jesus is King, under God the Father

Under God the father
God is Jesus' Father and has given Jesus authority to be King

Christ is king, He is God
Jesus is the King and He is also God

Who do you seek, you deny
If you deny Jesus, you deny the truth

That in the beginning was the word the word was with God
In the beginning, Jesus was with God and was the Word

The word was God, so why do you fight
Jesus is God, so why do people fight against Him?

Which were born, not of blood
Those who were born again were not born of human blood

Nor of the will flesh, nor of the will of man
The new birth is not the result of human desire, but of God's will

But of God the word became flesh
Jesus became human through the power of God

And dwelt among us and we beheld his glory
Jesus lived among us and we saw His glory

Full of grace and truth
Jesus was full of grace and truth

Prophets of the past claim the son of man would come with their hands lifted up
Old Testament prophets predicted that the Messiah would come with hands lifted up

And their eyes to the sky
The Messiah would look towards the heavens

They proclaim the name of Jesus Christ
The prophets declared that the Messiah would be named Jesus Christ

People may ask why, who do you choose to live this life
People may question why someone chooses to live a life for Jesus

But they know the truth, for he is the truth, desperate is their life
Those who follow Jesus know the truth, and without Him, their lives are desperate

So what's the use
There is no use in living without Jesus

Who's gonna bow down? Every knee!
Everyone will bow down before Jesus

Who's gonna confess? Every tongue!
Everyone will confess that Jesus is King

Here's one for the phunky drummer
This line is a shout-out to the drummer in the band

Keep the rhythm rolling in your face
The drummer should keep the beat going strong

I got the bass, without a trace he's going
The bassist is playing without any mistakes

He's gone and I'm on the microphone and I'm known to get rough
The bassist has finished playing, and now the lead singer is ready to start singing

So take some time out my rhyme bro and strut your stuff
This line is encouraging the listener to take a break and dance to the music

Prophets we're four, I show you what's in store
The band members are like prophets, showing the listener what's coming next

Give praises to my ring so now, can I get an encore?
This line is asking for the audience to give the band applause so they can play another song

And keep clapping, keep clapping, keep clapping, keep clapping
The band wants the audience to keep clapping their hands

Hey, yo what's happening, brothers are getting jacked
This line is acknowledging that some people are getting robbed or attacked

When you step to me with that disrespect
If you disrespect the band, they will not be happy

I think it's time for us to put you evil butt in check
The band will not tolerate evil behavior

And if you don't believe me, tell me who is next
The band is confident in their abilities and is ready for anyone who challenges them

And somebody tell the devil, that his match is met
The band is not afraid of the devil or his influence

From the word of God so you know it's the truth
The band's message comes from the Bible, so it is the truth

And I tell you with power chump, what you gonna do?
The band is powerful in their message and is asking the listener what they will do about it

I'll make it known again, that we're just spreading the good news
The band is spreading the gospel, which is the good news

And we'll have you crews saying your Jesus is one smooth dude
The band's message will convince people to say that Jesus is cool
