Love Song For A Savior

Jars of Clay

I love this song because it not only describes where I’ve been but where, in a lot of ways, I still am in my walk with God. If I had to pinpoint a specific period of my life that I could attribute this song to it would be 8th grade through the beginning of high school in terms of when I really started exploring my faith and beliefs and what I wanted, what it was all supposed to mean to me. Eighth grade was when I set out to actually start reading my Bible on my own and start really thinking about my beliefs and how I could make them more real and personal to me. However, the reality is simply that I still have that simplistic child-like mindset when it comes to my viewpoint on God and Jesus and my relationship with Him. At the heart of me I am still like a child that just wants to sit at her Father’s feet and gaze up at His loving face and just fall in love with Him over and over again. Being in love with Jesus is what sustains me and is the central core of what makes me who I am.

In open fields of wild flowers, she breathes the air and fly’s away
She thanks her Jesus for the daisies and the roses
For no simple language, someday she’ll understand
The meaning of it all

He’s more than the laughter, or the stars in the heavens
As close as a heartbeat or a song on her lips
Someday she’ll trust Him and learn how to see Him
Someday she’ll call Him and He will come running
Fall in His arms, the tears will fall down and she’ll pray

I want to fall in love with You
I want to fall in love with You
I want to fall in love with You
I want to fall in love with You

Sitting silent wearing Sunday best
The sermon echoes through the walls
A great salvation through it
Goes to the people who stare into nowhere
Can’t feel the chains on their souls

He’s more than the laughter, or the stars in the heavens
As close as a heartbeat or a song on her lips
Someday we’ll trust Him and learn how to see Him
Someday He’ll call us, we will come running
Fall in His arms, the tears will fall down and we’ll pray

I want to fall in love with You
I want to fall in love with You
I want to fall in love with You
I want to fall in love with You

Seems too easy to call You Savior
Not close enough to call You God
So as I sit and think of the words I didn’t mention
To show my devotion

I want to fall in love with You (repeat)
