This life makes it so hard to know what’s right.
Every day seems to be a harder fight
to stay alive within Your light.
I’m trying hard to keep You in my sight
but I’ve fallen and now all I can do is hang on tight.
I’m on the edge hanging on for life.
I’m dangling from a cliff
and I’m loosing my grip.
I see the jagged rock tips below
and I feel myself begin to slip.
I know on my own I can’t win
and I feel myself begin to fall again.
I don’t wanna face the fact
that I’m falling back, falling back,
yeah, I’m falling back again.
I should know better ‘cause this isn’t the first time
I’ve fallen into this hole.
No, it’s not the first time I’ve slipped
and hit the rocky bottom below.
But this time I thought I had You on my side….
So how can I be here again
dangling on the edge, weighed down by sin?
I don’t see anyone ready to throw a rescue rope
and all those jagged rocks are waiting below.
Oh no, here I go…I don’t wanna admit it, but
I know on my own I can’t win.
I feel my fingers letting go, no doubt I’m falling again.
Now I have to face the fact,
once again I’m falling back, falling back,
yeah, I’m falling back again.
I feel myself falling and I know I just can’t win
in this world against the sin so I close my eyes
‘cause it took so long to get up this high
and I can’t face watching myself fall again.
I don’t wanna face the fact that I’m falling back
I know on my own I can’t win
and I feel myself falling again.
I have to face the fact
I’m falling back, falling back,
yeah, I’m falling back again.
So I close my eyes ‘cause I’m falling back,
falling back, yeah, I’m falling back into a surprise…
I open my eyes and realize the fact,
I’ve fallen back, fallen back
yeah, I’ve fallen back…
back into Your arms again!
Back into You arms again!
Jesus, I’m in Your arms,
in Your arms, yeah,
I’m back in Your arms again.
