Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

We fall down
But we get up
We fall down
But we get up
We fall down
But we get up
For a saint
Is just a sinner who fell down,
But we couldn't stay there,
And got up

We fall down
But we get up
We fall down
But we get up
We fall down
But we get up
For a saint
Is just a sinner who fell down,
But we couldn't stay there,
And got up

Get back up again
Get back up again
Get back up again
Get back up again
Get back up again
Get back up again
For a saint




Is just a sinner who fell down
And got up

This song saved me. The first time I heard it I was driving. I hadda pull over, I was crying so uncontrollably. But I learned to let go and Let Jesus take the wheel. I'll be sober 35 years, Memorial Day Weekend, 2024. Jesus CAN WORK IT OUT😊

😒😒❀😒 Hello everyone it is June 21st 2023 and I am lying in the military VA hospital πŸ₯ bed because of my kidneys failure and heart problems and I am listening to our brother Mr Donnie beautiful song and it is helping me to refined my faith because I have been so angry and mad with God our father because I blame him for my failing health problems, but I realize that I was wrong and as a military veteran I never thought that I would be going through this, I know that I have faith and love for our father God, so I ask for forgiveness and for anyone to just say a little prayer

Amen
