08. Falling For You

Opposite Way
by Leeland



 

A childlike love I had
When we first began
We ran and I fell behind
I’ve been stuck here all this time
You waited like a lover
Who couldn’t let go of his bride
I turned my back away from You
Didn’t shed a tear or cry

But I’m falling for You now
I’m coming back to the place where we parted
It’s for real this time
So I’ll be here waiting where we started

My feet were bruised
I tried but I couldn’t fill Your shoes
I went my way
I bought the lie that I was all grown up
Didn’t need You in my life
The winter left me cold and frozen
Looking for the truth
But searching for the sun
I found the place where I met You

It feels so good
To be in Your arms
You never left me
I just chose to stay behind
I want to thank You for Your love
That gives me freedom
To run back, to come back

Behind the Song:
"This song’s about coming back to the Lord and the place you started when you first accepted Him. Often one’s passion for God is really strong when they first become a Christian, but that initial love and passion can often fall away. The reality of this is that God is not letting us go, we’re letting go of Him." - Leeland Mooring (Leeland)
