Fall down seven times, stand up eight.

sounds like a plan.

you see

we’re going to fall.

we’re going to fail the people we love and respect the most.

we’re going to faceplant.

Alrighty. 

Get back up.

Toby Mac made a good case for getting back up, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MX5OqyBYKh4.

While we are dusting ourselves off, maybe we can remember to extend grace to one another – the same grace we’d like to have extended to us.

Maybe we can help someone else who has fallen to get back up.

“Get Back Up”
You turned away when I looked you in the eye, 

And hesitated when I asked if you were alright, 

Seems like you’re fighting for you life,

But why? oh why?

Wide awake in the middle of your nightmare,

You saw it comin’ but it hit you outta no where,

And theres always scars

When you fall back far



We lose our way,

We get back up again

It’s never too late to get back up again,

One day you will shine again,

You may be knocked down,

But not out forever,

Lose our way,

We get back up again,

So get up, get up,

You gonna shine again,

Never too late to get back up again,

You may be knocked down,

But not out forever

(May be knocked down but not out forever)



You’re rolled out at the dawning of the day

Heart racin’ as you made you little get away,

It feels like you’ve been runnin’ all your life 

But, why? Oh why?



So you’ve pulled away from the love that would’ve been there,

You start believin’ that your situation’s unfair



But there’s always scars,

When you fall back far



We lose our way, 

We get back up again

Never too late to get back up again,

One day, you gonna shine again,

You may be knocked down but not out forever,

Lose our way, we get back up again,

So get up, get up

You gonna shine again

It’s never too late, to get back up again

You may be knocked down, but not out forever,

May be knocked down, but not out forever!



This is love callin’, love callin’, out to the broken,

This is love callin’.

This is love callin’, love callin’, out to the broken

This is love callin’. 

This is love callin’, love callin’, 

I am so broken 

This is love callin’ love callin



Lose our way, (way way way ay ay ay)

We get back up, (get back up again)

It’s never too late (late late late ate ate ate)

You may be knocked down but not out forever!



Lose our way,

We get back up again,

So get up get up

You gonna shine again

Never too late to get back up again

You may be knocked down,

But not out forever,



This is love (lose our way) callin’ love callin’ (get back up again)

To the broken 

This is love (never too late) callin’ 

(may be knocked down but not out forever)

This is love (lose our way) callin’ love callin’ (we get back up again)

To the broken 

This is love (never too late) callin’ 

(may be knocked down but not out forever)



This is love callin’ love callin’

Out to the broken,

This is love callin’….
