Melanie Hart: Music & Lyrics

From Melanie Hart's book, A New Thing: The Stories Behind the Music... "Dependence…Preparation… Surrender… to what God has purposed for us once the realization, through a time of maturing, has set in that our Heavenly Father is there to catch us when we fall; whether that’s because we’re in need of His rescue or His rest and stillness, or we have learned such dependence we are allowing Him to carry us through life’s journey."

Deuteronomy 32:10-12, “He found him in a desert land; And in the wasteland, a howling wilderness; He encircled him, He instructed him, He kept him as the apple of His eye. As an eagle stirs up its nest, hovers over its young, spreading out its wings, taking them up, carrying them on its wings, So the Lord alone led Him, And there was no foreign god with him.”

I Can Fall
September 20, 2005

In a desert land I wandered
In the wilderness I cried out
And there You were, hovering over me
You surrounded me with Your grace
And admonished me in my state
And reminded me that I would fly again

We would (will) soar over the mountains
Over rushing waterfalls
We would (will) fly over the mighty of your hand
And when I tired you would (will) catch me
On the safety of your shoulders
I can fall when I am falling into You,
I can fall when I am falling into You

So I will lay down my burdens
Take safety in your nest
And when I’m stronger I will learn to fly again
And when I need a little nudging
From the security and rest
I trust you Lord to try and fly again

You stir in me… Hovering…
You spread Your wings… take me and carry me!

Repeat Chorus
