Just Listen.

Can you hear me? [you know I do]

I know you've gotten me to the peak of the mountain... [we did it together]

You've helped me over each steep rock and boulder. [it was a hard road, kid, but you held onto Me.]

but now i'm falling. [I see that]

i didnt mean to. [I know]

i just slipped and i kept tumbling [use this to help you to remember that once you get to the top, you cant just ignore Who got you there... you cant keep yourself up there alone.]

i should have tried harder. [there's no trying involved, you should have just let Me be who I am.]

so i have a question, Jesus. [ask away]

i know i dont really talk to You as much as i should or even acknowledge You, but i really need someone to catch me. [done]

i've hit a lot of things on my way down here. [I saw.... and it broke My heart to see you in pain]

and i've even tried to grab ahold of what i could, but they were only temporary footholds. [but you learned to not grab ahold of things that can only offer you a temporary bliss]

i remember you telling me awhile ago that the only way i could go about my life was with You. [I remember telling you that.]

i couldnt fly solo. [you couldnt fly at all]

so, um, i am embarrassed to say this, Jesus, but i really screwed up again. can You please catch me before i hit the bottom? [of course]

thats all i need... [you need more than that... but you know I have already caught you]

just dont let me crash. [you are already in My arms]

can You hear me? i need You to catch me. [why dont you listen to Me? I already caught you]

if i hit the bottom again Lord, can You just let me stay there? [you wont hit the bottom, I heard your cries, and I answered. please just stay quiet long enough to listen to Me]

cause everytime i fall, it hurts worse than it would if i just stayed down there. [child, YOU ARE IN MY ARMS.]
