Fallin’ by Trip Lee

May 8, 2012 by Phil Auxier

I’ve had this song, Fallin’, by Trip Lee on repeat today because I resonate so much with this fight for sin he highlights.  Here’s a link his latest album, The Good Life: Amazon or iTunes.

If you feel condemned in your sin, know that God sent His Son, Jesus, to the cross and your sin can be forgiven in Him.  You can be set free from this.  You can go from being mastered by sin to mastering it through the amazing power of the Gospel.  This is reflected in these lyrics.

The lyrics go like this:
I don’t really want it but it’s calling my name 
“William come and get me I can take away the pain 
Come a little closer you got everything to gain” 
But I got too 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 askin for a passing I can’t hold it in 
There I go again no self control again I’m too good at givin in 
Feelin like throwin in the towel the guilt is closin in 
Sometimes I climb the heights but I’m at my lowest sin 
Cloaked in deception and overdosin on potent sin 
I’m so gone baby wanna be home again 
Wanna feel whole again come feel 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 fallin’ 
Face to the pavement 
Once again faced with the same sin 
(There I go again fallin’) 
I don’t think Ima make it 
Don’t know how much longer I can take it 
(There I go again fallin’) 
I’m caught up in this sin 
I wonder if I’ll see Your face again 
(There I go again fallin’) 
Fallin’ (3x) 
(But there I go) 


Trying to keep it cool I don’t wanna lead em playin 
But it’s hard to block out everything that she be sayin 
Look like it keep coming baby just reach out and take my hand 
There’s no need to fear me all I wanna do is dance 
I believe the lie now I’m headed for my doom 
They finally got me locked and now I’m bout to be there soon 
Feeling like I’m watched by everybody in the room 
Cause they know Ima fake and if not they will soon 
Have you ever felt like the walls finna close in 
Shackles on your hands and your feet and your dozin 
Sleep to the logic you possessed before all of the mess 
So beheaded mess with the rest what’s left 
Is a schizophrenic still what a man once was? 
Now you get to see the damage your lust does 
So now I’m doubled over with my face in the knees 
At Your side is where I wanna be 


But there I go again fallin’ 
Face to the pavement 
Once again faced with the same sin 
(There I go again fallin’) 
I don’t think Ima make it 
Don’t know how much longer I can take it 
(There I go again fallin’) 
I’m caught up in this sin 
I wonder if I’ll see Your face again 
(There I go again fallin’) 
Falling (3x) 
(But there I go) 


Everytime I fall He go’n pick me up 
The Lord is my shepherd homie He go’n pick me up 
I fell into the trap again but He go’n pick me up 
Remind me of His promises in Him I put my trust 
I don’t never have to give into the lies 
I’m feasting on His word all my sin I do despise 
So now I’m down before His throne praying on my knees 
Asking Lord give me grace please 


I don’t wanna be fallin’ 
So I gotta face this but I know there’s nothing that He can’t fix 
(I don’t wanna be fallin’) 
Looking to the cross where they place Him 
Cause I know His grace is amazing 
(I don’t wanna be fallin’) 
He’s covered all my sin 
It’s gone never to be seen again 
So we’re callin’ 
Callin’ (3x) 
(Unto You)

From One Degree To Another?

Yeah, that's right. My one, consuming passion is Jesus Christ, my Lord. I'm totally gripped by one message: the Gospel - the good news that God came after me when I was far from Him. So, the life I live, I live by faith in Him: He loved me and gave Himself for me.

From One Degree To Another is the change that He's accomplishing in me by grace. Growing downward in humility, upward into Him, outward toward others, and inward with renewal characterize my existence.

This site is where I flesh all of these types of things out, including my life as a slave to Jesus, husband, father, coffee-enjoyer, and pastor. I hope it encourages you.
