When I Fall Up

[bnewman]

A prayer of gratitude for the divine assistance that saw me through the Year of Madness and safely on my way to recovery.

lyrics and music by Benjamin Newman

 

listen to this song

/ G D C - / G D C D / G D Em - / C - G D /

 

You're always there to catch me when I fall

And when my world turns upside down I need You most of all

Help me plant my feet against the sky

Teach me how to land when I believe that I can fly

 

/ C - G D / C G CD G /

 

Your words are sweet, You ground my feet

Your mercy fills my cup

And You were there to catch me

When I fell Up

 

I couldn't shut my wings for being proud

Now I'm clinging in sheer terror to the bottom of a cloud

Hoping I don't slide into the blue

But I remember what You promised, so I'm reaching out to You

 

Your words are pure, Your hands are sure

Your wisdom fills my cup

And You'll be there to catch me

When I fall Up

 

Now seven years I've stood on solid ground

I thought that I was lost, but, Lady, by Your grace I'm found

And thinking I might test my wings once more

With Your guidance I won't make the same mistakes I did before

 

Your words are true, my trust's in You

Your vision fills my cup

I'll fly with You beside me

And I won't fall Up
