Why They Call it Falling

Have you struggled with something...something that has had control over you...and you've begun to get some footing on this unstable ground in your life? I have.

I heard a friend say today, "I fell." Why do they call it falling? I fell off the wagon...after a poor attempt to direct my friend to wiser counsel...and as I prayed a song came floating into my mind. I say floating, because it drifted in...started softly and then began to play at full volume in my head.

The song of course really has nothing to do with falling in this case, but it's a sad country song that for some reason I happen to like.

My dear friend. I'm sorry that you have fallen, but you are not the same person...you have grown...you are a new man in many ways...get up...you can do it...you can do all things through Christ who strengthens you...you have what it takes! RUN TO HIM...CRAWL TO HIM...He's waiting!!!

"Why They Call It Falling"

It's like jumpin
It's like leapin
It's like walkin on the ceilin
It's like floatin
It's like flyin through the air
It's like soarin
It's like glidin
It's a rocket ship you're ridin
It's a feelin that can take you anywhere

So why they call it fallin
Why they call it fallin
Why they call it fallin
I don't know

There was passion
There was laughter
The first mornin after
I just couldn't get my feet to touch the ground
Every time we were together
We talked about forever
I was certain it was Heaven we had found

So why they call it fallin
Why they call it fallin
Why they call it fallin
I don't know

But you can't live your life
Walkin in the clouds
Sooner or later
You have to come down

It's like a knife
Through the heart
When it all comes apart
It's like someone takes a pin to your balloon
It's a hole
It's a cave
It's kinda like a grave
When he tells you that he's found somebody new

So why they call it fallin
Why they call it fallin
Why they call it fallin
Now I know

Ooh, why they call it fallin
Why they call it fallin
Now I know
