I Fell Again...

by Brian Smith

My God, you have delivered me! The sin I held is gone!
The darkness now behind me, as I smile and face the dawn!
I fought my sin without you, and I fell upon my face.
I had to turn to you, and once I did I found your grace.
The road was long and hard, and there were times I was in doubt.
But all along, You guided me to what it's all about.
Through all the pain, when mortal eyes can't see the Hand of God,
You held me up, protecting me behind the Shepard's rod.
I've moved beyond the past and learned the lesson You've allowed.
And now I hold my head up high when passing through the crowd.
I feel that nothing threatens me now as I walk with You.
And surely now the battle's done, now that You've pulled me through.
But still, at work, the stress can sometimes get a little high.
And there are times it gets to me, I know I can't deny.
The world's unfair! What's wrong with them! Why don't they even care?
They never even notice all the things I'm doing there!
I wouldn't mind so much if they would pay me what I'm worth.
Oh what's the use, the story's been the same, old tale from birth.
So when they ask me questions, laying work upon my desk,
I'll tell them all just what I think of them, and all the rest!
You know I'll only take so much, then I no longer care.
And sometimes they can get to me! But who's that over there?
Is that the guy I witnessed to last week about Your love?
And told him how Your mercy changed me from the man I was?
And now he sees me, acting like I've never heard your name?
For all he knows the person that I was is still the same.
Before the sin of hate I lost a soul that I could win!
Oh help me God! I need you! I have fallen once again!









I offer You my praise, Oh Lord! Your servant now restored!
You've looked on me with love, and now Your mercy has been poured.
You've calmed the seas; I lay beside still waters, safe and warm.
And now I see that you have brought me wisdom through the storm.
The time is passed, when sin had pierced my heart just like a knife.
And surely, now it's gone and I'll be free throughout my life.
I see the joy around me, Lord! It's everywhere I look!
The burden on my shoulders was the burden that You took!
Now all I see are blessings, and they're hanging on my wall!
The wife that You have blessed me with, my daughters growing tall!
My life is great, my bills are paid, I'm growing in Your will.
And after all these years, I love her more each day now still.
So many men would give so much, to have what I've been given.
And feel the comfort that I know, that I have been forgiven.
My head left spinning, another day, my body's sore and aching.
But now I'm heading home, back to the living that I'm making.
I've not yet reached my family, when my eyes are pulled aside.
For there is someone I once knew, so long before their time.
This woman held my heart back then, my heart remembers still.
But what I felt, it wasn't love, though it controlled my will.
She hasn't changed, the way she moves, it makes me feel alive.
And I can't help but ache each time I look into her eyes.
I know the feelings in my mind could not be sent from you,
But there's no harm, for straying is a thing I'd never do.
Oh sure, it tempts me, as I think about how it could be.
And man! I just can't help but look, when nature's calling me.
These feelings in me swell, and I can't stand to look away.
But being who You've made me, I can let it pass away.
I turn to home, was no harm done? Your Word has said in part…
"That whosever lusts… commits adultery in his heart."
How could this be? I thought I left this old sin far behind!
But here I stand! I couldn't guard the thoughts within my mind!
And any minute, they'll rush to me, to tell me of their lives.
And if they knew, could any of them look me in the eyes?
Oh how, my God! My life's SO BLESSED! Yet still I long for sin?!
Oh help me God! I need you! I have fallen once again!





Oh faithful, guiding Father, I have praised you in my years!
For each time that I've fallen You have wiped away my tears.
You saw each time that I would fall, from high upon the cross.
And in Your mercy, planned to gain from every single loss.
I'll never know why life is hard, but I'm sure you had your reasons.
For it seamed that trials always came and left within their seasons.
For I can't see the world You've made, but strain to see my part.
I've tried to follow, trusting that Your Will would lead my heart.
Your plan was that we'd live for You, and that we'd never fall.
But knowing that we would, You made the way to save us all.
The years have past; I've sent my children out into the world.
And I thought this life was over when the sky around me twirled.
I fell, awaking in a bed with doctors all around.
Who told me I was lucky that they found me on the ground.
I've spent each day since then just wanting so much more of You.
My understanding
