Every Time I Fall

I wrote this freshman year when I went to the music practice rooms to do some recording for my "cd". But when I got there and hit the record button, every one else decided to start practicing their own instruments. While I would like to eventually have other instruments added to these songs, I don't think random trumpet notes and opera singers would really be a great addition. So I decided to just work on a song but I didn't expect to come up with anything. After awhile this one just started to form itself and suddenly it was done within maybe an hour. I think that this song is helpful in understanding sin and its repetition. Every time, you think that it won't happen again and you'll be able to get past it but soon enough fall back into it. My favorite part of the lyrics is the bridge "It's so good to know that I'm not good enough". I'm not good enough. It's not about being good enough. It's about knowing the one who is.

Every Time I Fall

There goes the sun
And taking another day
I didn't want
things to stay the same

Faulty eyes
Look past complacency
All the lies
Holding on to my feet

    Every time I fall I find grace
    But don't let me forget all of my mistakes

A lesson learned
And a song to sing as well
Of a broken man
That never leaves the place he fell

A pattern locked
In the mindset of a fool
Tomorrow brings
A brand new slate to mark

    Every time I fall I find grace
    But don't let me forget all of my mistakes

        I can't save myself

        It's so good to know
        That I'm not good enough
