Face down

We have been talking a lot about the past few years and living through what we think of as the worst. We know that through this we have never been so close to the Lord. Now that things have “leveled” out and our lives are “okay”....at least not in trauma. It is sad, but you forget that closeness. There is something to be said about living at the end of your rope. This song by Family Force 5 reminded me (LS) about that time and a fresh season of asking God to show me how to live face down. I don’t want to forget that He was/is my everything. I hate that now that things are not SO terrible that I am back to thinking I can do some of this on my own. I guess that is the struggle we all have. We are that fair-weather friend to God. We seem to say “Things are good right now….I’ll hit ya up when I am in that hole again…..” God teach us to live face down!!!!!
“Face Down”
By: Family Force 5
I shut my eyes in search for sleep
Tossed and turned in hope of dreams
Awakened by a voice that was so clear
It felt so near to me
I want you love i need your touch
I’ve been missing you so much
I reach out for your hand
And now it feels like i am falling
Down, down, down,
Till i kiss the ground, ground, ground
[chorus]
Falling with my face down
Giving up me, myself, and i
A bitter sweet taste to swallow my pride now
Face down where i stay now
If you see me standing up again
Just knock me back down so i can live face down
Face down
I’m on my face again
It’s where i should have been
Brings me back to where i found you
Where i first fell for you
No more depending on myself
It’s you and me and no one else
You stretch out your hand
And now it feels like i am falling into
Love, love, love
Can’t get enough of love
