So you thought you had to keep this up
All the work that you do so we think that you’re good
And you can’t believe it’s not enough
All the walls you built up are just glass on the outside
So let ’em fall down
There’s freedom waiting in the sound
When you let your walls fall to the ground
We’re here now
This is where the healing begins, oh
This is where the healing starts
When you come to where you’re broken within
The light meets the dark, the light meets the dark
Afraid to let your secrets out
Everything that you hide can come crashing through the door now
But too scared to face all your fear
So you hide but you find that the shame won’t disappear
So let it fall down
There’s freedom waiting in the sound
When you let your walls fall to the ground
We’re here now, we’re here now
Sparks will fly as grace collides with the dark inside of us
So please don’t fight this coming light
Let this Blood come cover us
His Blood can cover us
Performed by Tenth Avenue North
This song is about not trusting in your ‘works’ to get to Heaven and to be with Jesus. Our faith in God and His power will get us to Him. Believing that His Son Jesus was born of a virgin, lived 33 years on our earth without sin, became sin for us and then was crucified…all so that we might have a place in Heaven with God. That is what we need to believe and share with others. That is our purpose on the earth.
For those of us who are parents, we are to bring up our children with the fear of the Lord in their heart. Although we may try to teach this, it is often best learned by example. Just as a child learns about gravity from falling, or about what hot or cold feels like from experience. There are some children who naturally trust and there are others who have to test it to see for themselves. Which child are we, for we are all children of God? I am the one who will sometimes test it to see, other times I will learn from seeing others’ mistakes to trust in what I see or what I hear. Blessed are those who trust just from hearing and knowing.
But blessed is the one who trusts in the LORD, whose confidence is in Him.
Jeremiah 17:7
* ~ ♥ ~ ✞ ~ ♥ ~ *
Father, help us to seek You first. Help us to not become dependent on ourselves or in men. Let the Holy Spirit direct us, when we ask, to those people whom You have empowered with Your wisdom. There are those who have already walked the path You have laid out focusing on You and only on You. May we be those people—seeking Your will…not ours. May we become the light in this barren, fear-filled land. In Jesus’ name we pray, amen.
