Falling In Love
Kees Kraayenoord Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Then you found me, i was broken and unclean
But you did not walk away,
You picked me up instead
You held me in your arms,
I do not comprehend
This love is overwhelming,
I tend to walk away
And i don't know what to say
But i'm falling in love
With the lover of my soul
You have shown me your grace and
I've seen your acceptance in the tears on your face
You forgave me my sin
You are making me whole
And i'm falling in love
With the lover of my soul.
Dear father, your eyes have searched the earth for me
Then you found me, i was broken and unclean
So what can i offer
And how can i repay
All that you have given me
How can i find a way?
To bring what you deserve god,
My very own life
But here i am to worship
As a living sacrifice
I'm falling in love with you
Since the day i met you jesus,
Since that day i love you jesus
The opening lines of "Falling in Love" by Kees Kraayenoord describe a sense of guilt and a lack of worth that has been lifted by a higher power. The singer realizes that they were broken and unclean when they were found by a figure they call "dear father" who did not walk away. Instead, they were picked up and held in their arms, which the singer does not fully comprehend. The love that was shown to them is said to be overwhelming and while the singer tends to walk away, they realize that they are falling in love with "the lover of [their] soul".
The second verse of the song describes the singer's sense of indebtedness to "dear father". They wonder what they can offer or how they can repay everything that has been given to them. The singer asks how they can bring what "dear father" deserves and decides that the only way is to worship as a living sacrifice. In the chorus, the singer explains how this love has made them fall in love with "the lover of [their] soul" and that they have seen "dear father's" grace and acceptance in the tears on their face. Thus, the theme of the song is redemption, and the singer's realization that they have fallen in love with a higher power.
