Life In Your Way Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
My shallow ideas fall far before your feet
To know all of these would be to know your hand
But my frailty uncovers what I really am not what I mean to be
Sear my heart to you and sear my eyes
All these scars keep me from seeing clearly
I am broken crying and falling for you
Take this confusion away
As though I have no hope again as though you have never taken me in
Like a child with his hands to his father I come uncovered
I'm in need of you more than ever
The lyrics to Life In Your Way's song "Fall" are powerful and deeply personal. In the first verse, the singer's voice falls at the word of God, indicating their submission to His will. The singer acknowledges that their own ideas and understandings are shallow in comparison to God's infinite wisdom. The theme of surrender and reliance on God continues as the singer expresses their desire for God to make them a better person. The line "Sear my heart to you and sear my eyes" suggests that the singer is asking God to refine them, to the point where they can only see and love Him. The singer is aware that their own flaws and scars are keeping them from truly seeing clearly and following the right path, so they ask God to take away their confusion and show them the new road to righteousness.
The second verse shows the singer's vulnerability as they admit their own brokenness and their need for God's help. The line "As though I have no hope again as though you have never taken me in" suggests that the singer is feeling lost and disconnected from God, despite having had a personal relationship with Him in the past. This feeling of isolation and helplessness is reminiscent of the biblical story of the prodigal son, who returns home to his father after years of living a sinful life. Like the prodigal son, the singer is coming to God uncovered and in need of His love and guidance.
Overall, the lyrics to "Fall" are a powerful expression of the human desire for a deeper connection with God. The singer recognizes their own frailty and shortcomings and submits to God's will in the hope of becoming a better person. The song encourages listeners to reflect on their own relationship with God and to ask for His help in overcoming their own flaws and shortcomings.
