Failing Up

Standing on the corner I was losing track of time

When away in the distance saw an old friend of mine

He was smiling when he walked up held a tract out in his hand

Then he told me Jesus loved me and said "so do I, man"

Told me Jesus wants to save me from the fiery pit of hell

Then I told him I was livin' there I knew that place well

I was just about to leave when a love came over me

Like nothin I had felt then we kneeled and we prayed

Right there in the street we prayed

And now, after all those years of falling down

I fell up in the arms of love

When I heard Him call

(Love was calling I was falling)

He was there and I could hear Him callin'

I was fallin' up into His arms

Love was catchin' me that day and somehow

I was fallin' up then

And I'm fallin' up now

I'm fallin' up now

I remember that same feeling I'm reminded everyday

See, Jesus lives inside me and I know He's there to stay

Sometimes I start to fall down just like any other man

But His arms are there to catch me

And lift me up again

After all those years of falling down

I fell up in the arms of love

When I heard Him call

Now - couldn't live without Him

Now - wanna know more about Him

Now - I'm falling once again

Now - falling up to heaven
