Something beautiful

Lately I've been listening to the song "Something Beautiful" by Needtobreathe. I first heard it last year and loved it. Lately there is one part of the lyrics that really catches me. Here are the lyrics:

In your ocean, I'm ankle deep
I feel the waves crashin' on my feet
It's like I know where I need to be
But I can't figure out, yeah I can't figure out

Just how much air I will need to breathe
When your tide rushes over me
There's only one way to figure out
Will ya let me drown, will ya let me drown

Hey now, this is my desire
Consume me like a fire, 'cause I just want something beautiful
To touch me, I know that I'm in reach
'Cause I am down on my knees, I'm waiting for something beautiful
Oh, something beautiful

And the water is risin' quick
And for years I was scared of it
We can't be sure when it will subside
So I won't leave your side, no I can't leave your side

Hey now, this is my desire
Consume me like a fire, 'cause I just want something beautiful
To touch me, I know that I'm in reach
'Cause I am down on my knees, I'm waiting for something beautiful
Oh, something beautiful

In a daydream, I couldn't live like this
I wouldn't stop until I found something beautiful
When I wake up, I know I will have
No, I still won't have what I need

Hey now, this is my desire
Consume me like a fire, 'cause I just want something beautiful
To touch me, I know that I'm in reach
'Cause I am down on my knees, I'm waiting for something beautiful
Oh, something beautiful


So the part that gets me is in the chorus where it says "I know that I'm in reach, cause I am down on my knees, waiting for something beautiful." It makes me wonder if I am in reach. Am I constantly putting myself within reach of God? Or do I only get on my knees when I feel like it? Really we should be in reach all the time, He's reaching out it's just a matter of if we are willing to be touched by Something Beautiful.

Until then......
