OneRepublic: All Fall Down

It's been a while since I've shared a song with you, but this is one of my absolute favorites.  We often think that life is something we have to conquer, a list of tasks to complete or goals to accomplish.  But we are creations, not creators, and as Romans 3 tells us, we all fall short of the glory of God.  One of my favorite bands, OneRepublic, takes a look at this reality which can actually be very comforting.  We are not God.  We all fall down, and that's ok, because of the One who is there to catch us, our Lord Jesus Christ.  Our lives are a gift from God, and each day is a blessing.  Our life is not most centrally about what we do or fail to do, but about who we are and who God is, and what God is doing in the world.  This song really helped me in a time in my life when I was struggling with not accomplishing all I thought I should.  Enjoy!

Lyrics below:


Step out the door and it feels like rain
That's the sound (that's the sound) on your window pane
Take to the streets but you can't ignore
That's the sound (that's the sound) you're waiting for

You feel that your will starts crashing down
Whenever you're will starts crashing down
Whenver your will starts crashing down
That's when you find me.

Yeah God love your soul and your aching bones
Take a breath, take a step, maybe down below
Everyone's the same
My fingers to my toes
We just can't get a ride
But we're on the road

If ever your will starts crashing down
Whenever your will starts crashing down
Whenever your will starts crashing down
That's when you find me.

(Yeah) Lost til you're found
Swim til you drown

Know that we all fall down
Love til you hate
Jump til you break
Know that we all fall down

If ever your will starts crashing down
Whenever your will starts crashing down
If ever your will starts crashing down
That's when you'll find (find) me

Lost til you're found
Swim til you drown
Know that we all fall down
Love til you hate
Jump til you break
Know that we all fall down

All fall down, we all fall down, all fall down
We all fall down, all fall down, all fall down

Lost til you're found
Swim til you drown
Know that we all fall down
Love til you hate
Jump til you break
Know that we all fall down
