More Like Falling in Love

Every now and then there comes a song I have heard over & over, maybe even sang along to, but one day I actually listen to it and truly hear it's meaning. Like reading scripture, you can read it over & over again, but one day there is that certain passage that just rings loud for you & your current season or circumstance.

Today for me that song is "More Like Falling in Love" by Jason Gray.

The lyrics are
Give me rules, I will break them
Show me lines, I will cross them
I need more than a truth to believe
I need a truth that lives, moves, and breathes
To sweep me off my feet

Its gotta be
More like falling in love
Than something to believe in
More like losing my heart
Than giving my allegiance
Caught up, called out
Come take a look at me now
Its like I'm falling, Ohhhh
Its like I'm falling in love

Give me words, I'll misuse them
Obligations, I'll missplace them
Cuz all religion ever made of me
Was just a sinner with a stone tied to my feet
It never set me free

Its gotta be
More like falling in love
Than something to believe in
More like losing my heart
Than giving my allegiance
Caught up, called out
Come take a look at me now
Its like I'm falling 
Its like I'm falling in love

Love, Love
Deeper and deeper
It was love that made me a believer
In more than a name, a faith, a creed
Falling in love with Jesus brought the change in me




This song is stinking amazing!

If we can all serve Jesus instead of our religion we could be on to something. Why do you believe what you believe? Why do you not do certain things? And why do you do other things?

It's Jesus voice we need to adhere to. I'm sure many of your leaders voices and hearts DO line up with Jesus. But the only way we can know for sure that what we are being taught & hearing is by digging in the word ourselves & hearing from God ourselves. Studying the bible ourselves. Jesus is NOT about religion. He's not about rules.

A "christian" life should be a life of freedom & peace, but far too often we make it one of rules & regulations to adhere to.

All religion ever made of me
Was just a sinner with a stone tied to my feet
It never set me free

It all starts with a relationship. A personal relationship. Don't rely on another's relationship with God to determine how you live your life. Seek Him for yourself.

Rules get broken.

Constantly hearing don't do this, don't do that is exhausting and only leads to rebellion. But a true love for God is SO much different!


More like falling in love
Than something to believe in
More like losing my heart
Than giving my allegiance
