Gravity

Let’s start at the beginning of this story
I was just a boy with nowhere to call home

There I was building houses on the sand
I could see that I was only running circles in my mind
It just goes on and on and on until it finally catches up to me
Like gravity it takes me round and turns me upside down

That’s when it all came screaming back

Just like gravity, what draws you to me
Someone I didn’t know I needed
It’s like gravity, and it’s stronger than me
I need you here

There you were in your perfection looking on
You see that I can only run in circles for so long
You just press on and on and on until you finally catch a grip on me
Like gravity you take me down and turn me upside down

That’s when it all came screaming back

Just like gravity, what draws you to me
Someone I didn’t know I needed
It’s like gravity, and it’s stronger than me
I need you here

When will you be able to see past your own hands?
I’m taking down, empty pictures that we used to hold close, before you…

That’s when it all came screaming back

Just like gravity, what draws you to me
Someone I didn’t know I needed
It’s like gravity, and it’s stronger than me
I need you here

Here is a song from anothe of my favourite bands The Fold. I think that this song is about how we go about living our lives the way we do and then we realise that God is there and he pulls us towards him because 'like gravity, [he's] stronger than [us]' and we need him to help us through the things in our lives. We don't always know that we need him but he throws us little things to show us that we do so that we don't become self reliant. But he is always there to help us. Remember this because God loves you.

Thanks for sharing Bethy. While we were sinners God loved us and sent his son for us. He called us back to him when we were lost and he keeps calling to his children to live in love for Him.
