Falling in Love

    

      I am sitting here listening to Jason Gray’s “More Like Falling in Love.” Wow, it says so much at so many different levels. Who can’t remember that first true love? That heartfelt feeling, that joy, that effortless commitment, that….


    Chances are if love was with a person, a church, a religion, a club, a car, or some other worldly thing, that love, for a myriad of reasons, has diminished or vanished. Fortunately, swept off my feet, eternal love exists and can set you free of failures, sin, hurt, mistrust, fear ….


    The Bible speaks God’s promises. Promises that are always kept, promises that are always met, and promises we can totally trust in. No matter where you are in life, what your transgressions, God loves you. He is gracious and compassionate, slow to anger, and rich in love. (Psalm 145:8). He loves you so much that he sent his son as an atoning sacrifice for your sins. (1 John 4:10). Thus, because of his love, his rich mercy, you are made alive with Christ even when you were dead in transgressions. Through God’s grace, you are saved. (Ephesians 2:4-5).


    How do you find this eternal love? First, confess to God that you are a sinner in need of forgiveness, and that you are sorrowful and regretful for those sins and wish to turn away from them with God’s help. Second, commit your life to Jesus Christ, for whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. (John 3:16-17).


    The lyrics to “More Like Falling in Love” are written below. I encourage you to visit Jason’s MySpace site at http://www.myspace.com/jasongraymusic and listen to this wonderful song.

Give me rules

I will break them

Give me lines

I will cross them

I need more than a truth to believe

I need a truth that lives, moves, and breathes

To sweep me off my feet

It ought to be

More like falling in love

Than something to believe in

More like losing my heart

Than giving my allegiance

Caught up, called out

Come take a look at me now

It's like I'm falling, oh

It's like I'm falling in love

Give me words

I'll misuse them

Obligations

I'll misplace them

'Cause all religion ever made of me

Was just a sinner with a stone tied to my feet

It never set me free

It's gotta be

CHORUS

...It's like I'm falling in love, love, love

Deeper and deeper

It was love that made

Me a believer

In more than a name, a faith, a creed

Falling in love with Jesus brought the change in me

    Christ lives, moves, and breathes.  Go, get caught up and called out.  Get changed.  It’s not a religion.  It will set you free.  Fall in love with Jesus.
