I'm In the Way
Yep - more lyrical musings from Jars of Clay - "Who We Are Instead":

I'm In the Way

You sit and stare out at the sky
And think of ways to fake a smile
But life is never what it seems
Sometimes it only takes a while

I'm in the way of fallin' down
I won't let you go that far now
I'm in the way of fallin' down
I won't let you go that far now

If you think that hope was left behind
I picked it up a mile ago
And I'm running close behind
So don't give up and don't let go


This song is so simple yet so powerful and speaks to me about God's sovereignty and love for us. He's always got us even when it "feels" like He doesn't. There's a lot of theological "stuff" that can come out of this but ultimately I think if we trust God's ultimate will, we can feel safe to live abundantly and passionately knowing He's NEVER letting go - even when we are at our worst.
