Fallin-Trip Lee

You ever had that moment when you're like "What in the world am I doing?" You find yourself in a situation where you never thought you would be. I know there have been times in my life where I say that I would never do this or that and then turn around and do the exact thing I said I would never do. Or  I decide to leave a sin or bad habit behind yet no matter how hard I try, I still do that one thing. Sometimes, it is good things I want to do but never seem to make myself do them. I know I am not alone in this struggle.

Trip Lee writes in Fallin:

I don't really want it but it's calling my name
"William you come and get me I can take away the pain
Come a little closer you got everything to gain"
But I got to much to lose I'm bout to go insane
I been here too many times got my head low
If I gave a dime for every time I'd be dead broke
I feel that battle in my soul the pressure closing in
My passions asking for a pass and I can't hold it in
There I go again no self control again I'm too good at giving in
Feeling like throwing in the towel the guilt is closing in
Sometimes I climb the heights but I'm at my lowest sin
Cloaked in deception and overdosing on potent sin
I'm so gone baby wanna be home again
Wanna feel whole again come fill this hole again
Now I'm doubled over with my face in my knees
At your side is where I wanna be
But there I go again I'm falling

Face to the pavement
Once again faced with the same sin
(There I go again I'm falling)
I don't think I'm a make it
Don't know how much longer I can take it
(There I go again I'm falling)
So I'm caught up in this sin
I wonder if I see Your face again
(There I go again I'm falling)
Falling [x3]
There I go

 

 

As Christians, we all face temptations and trials. We often think that we are alone when we fall in these temptations. But the truth is that we all face these temptations and we all at one time or another fall. Even the Paul-known as the greatest Christian missionary ever-struggled in these areas.

 

Romans 7:15-20

 

For what I am doing, I do not understand; for I am not practicing what I would like to do, but I am doing the very thing I hate. 16But if I do the very thing I do not want to do, I agree with the Law, confessing that the Law is good. 17So now, no longer am I the one doing it, but sin which dwells in me. 18For I know that nothing good dwells in me, that is, in my flesh; for the willing is present in me, but the doing of the good is not. 19For the good that I want, I do not do, but I practice the very evil that I do not want. 20But if I am doing the very thing I do not want, I am no longer the one doing it, but sin which dwells in me.

 

I believe the secret to dealing with struggles is to admit them to our brothers and sisters in Christ and ask for accountability. Trip Lee was willing to share his struggles with the world. We should be willing to share with those around us. It might even encourage them to share their struggles and find freedom of forgiveness Christ offers.

 

 

So I gotta face this but I know there's nothing that He can't fix
(I don't wanna be falling)
Looking to the cross where they placed Him
Cause I know His grace is amazing
(I don't wanna be falling)
He's covered all my sin
It's gone never to be seen again
So Your calling
Calling [x3]
Me to You
