Downfall

Every time I hear these words it gets me thinking. I think about the constant struggle of laying stuff down . The struggles to believe that God is bigger than my problems and while I am dirty still know that there is a love that can make anyone clean.

Some how I can worry about things, not trust God enough to handle them, and then wonder why they don’t get better. It’s almost like I don’t want Him to see my shortcomings or bother Him with my issues.

I could see a conversation going like this…

"Wonder how you sleep
I wonder what you think of me
If I could go back
Would you have ever been with me
I want you to be unused
I want you to remember
I want you to believe in me
I want you on my side
Come on and lay it down
I've always been with you
Here and now
Give all that's within you"

"Be my savior and I'll be your downfall"

"Here we go again
Ashamed of being broken in
We're getting off track
I wanna get you back again
I want you to trouble me
I wanted you turning down
I want you to agree with me
I want so much so bad
Come on and lay it down
I've always been with you
Here and now
Give all that's within you"

"Be my savior and I'll be your downfall"

"Yeah, be my savior"
"Only love can save us now "
"Don't lay me down"
"Only love can save us now "
"I'll be your downfall"
"love can save us now"

"I'll be your downfall, don't save me now"

"Lay it down
I've always been with you
Hear and now
With all that's within you"

"Be my savior and I'll be your downfall"

"Only love can save us now
Lay it down
I've always been with you
Hear ME now"
