We fall down we get up

Father is so good. When times are good it's natural we will 'ignore' Him. Only when times are bad, in sadness or grief then we go to Him for comfort. Yet in all these I realise Father never for once rejected me. Whenever I turn my focus back to Him, there will always be a still small voice telling me; "welcome back my son." Constantly assuring of His love for me. What a love. What a comforting voice. Father has never for once scolded me for treating Him as a 'spare'. He always welcomes me back like a loving Father.
Unlike me a human, will always feel make use when being treated like a spare.

This song is well written. One part of the lyrics carries a strong meaning
{ The saints are just the sinners who fall down...and get up. }
We fall down we get up
We fall down we get up
We fall down we get up

Not by our own strength, but by simply relying & enjoying the Father's deep love for us.
Grace grace & more grace. Not only He loves us, He gave us much grace to get up each time we fall.


We Fall Down, We Get Up
Bob Carlisle

Cursing every step of the Way, he bore a heavy load
To the market ten miles away, The journey took its toll
And every day he passed a Monastery's high cathedral Walls
And it made his life seem Meaningless and small

And he wondered how it would Be to live in such a place
To be warm, well fed and at Peace; to shut the world away

So when he saw a priest who Walked, for once, beyond the Iron gate
He said, Tell me of your life Inside the place...
And the priest replied...

We fall down, we get up
We fall down, we get up
We fall down, we get up
And the saints are just the Sinners
Who fall down and get up

Disappointment followed him Home; he'd hoped for so much More
But he saw himself in a light He had never seen before

Cause if the priest who fell Could find the Grace of God To be enough
Then there must be some hope For the rest of us
There must be some hope left For us

We fall down, we get up
We fall down, we get up
We fall down, we get up
And the saints are just the Sinners
Who fall down and get up
