More Like Falling In Love



"More Like Falling In Love" ~Jason Gray

I think God sent me this song at a very appropriate time of my life. Sometime last quarter, I got very caught up in moralism, focusing too much on the "doing" and "works." I heard this song, and the lightbulb went on; something like God's light, revealing to me that I was trying to obey God out of my own strength. I prayed (and continue to pray) that instead, I'll fall in love with Him =].

It's gotta be
more like falling in love
than something to believe in
more like losing my heart
than giving my allegiance
caught up, called out
come take a look at me now
it's like i'm falling in love


I also really like these lines in particular:
"I need more than a truth to believe, I need a truth that lives, moves and breathes, to sweep me off my feet"
"..cuz all religion ever made of me was just a sinner with a stone tied to my feet.. It never set me free."

They describe very nicely about how I want to see my relationship with God: not simply thoughtless obedience, but His love sweeping me off my feet. And understanding that my religiosity doesn't save me, but in fact does the opposite. It's His love that frees me =]. yay!
