A song by D C Talk
What if I stumble?
What if I fall?
Is this one for the people?
Is this one for the Lord?
Or do I simply serenade for things I must afford?
You can jumble them together, my conflict still remains
Holiness is calling, in the midst of courting fame
Cause I see the trust in their eyes
Though the sky is falling
They need Your love in their lives
Compromise is calling
CHORUS:
What if I stumble, what if I fall?
What if I lose my step and I make fools of us all?
Will the love continue when my walk becomes a crawl?
What if I stumble, and what if I fall?
What if I stumble, what if I fall?
You never turn in the heat of it all
What if I stumble, what if I fall?
Father please forgive me for I can not compose
The fear that lives within me
Or the rate at which it grows
If struggle has a purpose
On the narrow road you've carved
Why do I dread my trespasses will leave a deadly scar
Do they see the fear in my eyes?
Are they so revealing?
This time I cannot disguise
All the doubt I'm feeling
What if I stumble?
Everyone's got to crawl when you know that
You're up against a wall, it's about to fall
Everyone's got to crawl when you know that (2x)
I hear You whispering my name [You say]
"My love for You will never change" [never change]
What if I stumble, what if I fall?
You never turn in the heat of it all
What if I stumble, what if I fall?
You are my comfort, and my God
Is this one for the people, is this one for the Lord?
You might ask, why has your last two post been about songs?
Well the answer is simple, 1: I love music and 2: I love lyrics.
Especially when there's poetry, for example: I am full of Earth,you are Heavens worth, I am stained with dirt, prone to depravity,but a certain side of Grace is this,from the broken Earth flowers come up, pushin through the dirt.But those aren't the lyrics I want to talk about.
I have heard this verse quoted a few time and loved it the first time I heard it.
Forgive me, but I'm not sure where in the Bible it's located. It says though the righteous fall seven time God will lift them up. I will have to look it up and tell you all where to find it. Now this brings me to my point. The Bible says He ( as in God ) has given us the Spirit of adoption, wherewith we can cry Abba Father. which is another favorite of mine. And so, daily when we fall and get dirty, we can call and say daddy help me.
When I posted this, I told you that I had Only heard and not reed a verse. And so,these two should help. 1: Ps. 145:14 the LORD upholdeth all that fall, and raiseth up all those that be bowed down. 2: prov. 24:16 For a Just man falleth seven times, and riseth up again.
