Fall
Ascend The Hill Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sometimes this world seems bigger than it is
And I just can't help but see it this way
And I know You're telling me to cast my cares aside and you know I try
But these walls I've built just won't let me see You
And these walls I've built just won't let me hear You
And these walls are just walls I've built between You and me
If I could see You, if I could hear You
Then I'd know I need You just as before
Cause I've barricaded these tendencies
My selfish pride, these things inside, they always get the best of me
Show me love, teach me truth, break my heart and bring me back to You
Take these dreams, this is me, all I am here at Your feet
Take me as I am, with You I want to be
Of all this world it's you I wanna see
So I'm here on my knees
I need only to see Your face again
I need only to hear Your voice again
I have only all I am, all I am
And all I am is all I have in You
So I fall on my knees again




These walls are just I've built between You and me
I fall on my knees again

Despite my attempts, the barriers I have created prevent me from seeing You.


And these walls I've built just won't let me hear You
Even if You speak to me, I cannot hear You due to these walls I've erected.


And these walls are just walls I've built between You and me
These barriers are solely my creation, and they are affecting our relationship.


If I could see You, if I could hear You
If only I could behold and perceive You.


Then I'd know I need You just as before
At that point, I would realize that I need You as much as I did in the past.

I am kneeling in front of You.


I need only to see Your face again

I need only to hear Your voice again
All I require is to listen to Your voice once more.


I have only all I am, all I am
All I possess is just who I am, nothing else.

Once more, I am prostrating myself before You in humility.

These barriers are solely my creation, and they are affecting our relationship.


I fall on my knees again
Again, I am kneeling before You in submission.

Sometimes this world seems bigger than it is
And I just can’t help but see it this way
And I know You’re telling me to cast my cares aside and you know I try
But these walls I’ve built just won’t let me see You
And these walls I’ve built just won’t let me hear You
And these walls are just walls I’ve built between you, You and me Lord
If I could see You, if I could hear You
Then I’d know I need You just as before
Cause I’ve barricaded these tendencies
My selfish pride, these things inside, they always get the best of me
Show me love, teach me truth, break my heart and bring me back to You, ooh bring me back to You
Take these dreams, this is me, all I am here at Your feet
Take me as I am, with You I want to be
Of all this world it’s you I wanna see
So I’m here, here on my knees, oh God

And all I am is all I have in You
So I fall on my knees again, and I fall, I fall on my knees again,at your feet Lord
and I fall, ooh I fall on my knees again,at your feet God
And I fall, I fall on my knees again, these walls come crashing down
and I fall, I fall on my knees at your feet 
The walls come crashing down
and I fall, I fall, I fall on my knees at your feet
These walls are just walls I’ve built between You and me
ooh I'm tearing them down
and these walls are just walls I've built between You and me
wont you tear them down, tear them down
and these walls are just walls I've built between you and me, Jesus please tear them down
and these walls are just walls I've built between you and me
so I fall on my knees again, at your feet Lord
and I fall on my knees again, the walls come crashing down
and I fall on my knees again, ooh God
and I fall on my knees again

«Muéstrame el amor, enséñame la verdad,
destroza mi corazón y tráeme de vuelta a Ti.
Toma estos sueños, esto soy yo;
a tus pies todo lo que soy.»

No he encontrado una canción mejor que esta que describa como me he sentido estas semanas.
