i’ve fallen in love with life again
I’ve fallen in love with life again
no longer wrapped up in addiction
it’s been 4 years but the recovery been rapid
that little girl i once was, been buried under all that happened
wondering where i was going and what i was doing with this life i’ve been given
head no longer spinnin’
no longer dazed and confused
see i used to be stuck in a cycle
but i came to a crossroads
had to know there was a deeper meaning than this life i've been livin'
felt so numb too every feelin'
but now i’ve fallen in love with life again
i love my friends
and i take note of when the sun rises and sets all over again
i laugh and i cry
i accept my emotions and know they’re not the final verdict
i get in my car and i crinkle a smile because i know joy is a daily pursuit
im a carrier of peace
where i once could feel the anxiety in my bones
all i’m filled with is affirmation and love from the best friend i discovered i was in desperate need of all along
he’s made me fall in love with life again
ever since i’ve started falling in love with him
he showed me how to live, how to pick up myself where i’ve been tossed
how to get up and feel moved by a mighty cause
ever since i’ve started falling in love with him…
the beauty in his eyes has become the only thing i’m seeing
all i can see is him
not my broken pieces lying on the floor
and in every crevice i feel the need to explore
nah, they’ve been picked up
i’ve rummaged through all the muck
faced the facts
and i know that in the facts that’s when my faith begins to arise
because it’s only from a great fall that rising can happen
it’s only the darkest right before dawn hits
now i’m waking up with joyful expectation
another day I got,
with my God,
as his girl
i’m his and every time I’ve looked back since
i’ve never found anyone as good as this love that doesn’t make sense
that heightens my senses and helps me see life for what it really is
helps me see reality
and shifts my perspective again and again
to help me see the beauty in every day life
because of this love i find myself falling in
nothin’ hits like the first flip of my Bible after a long day
when it’s been too long since i’ve stopped to gaze into the eyes of the one I love
I can feel it in my heart because I long to truly sit and see and let it envelope me
no longer wrapped up in addiction
still fighting off the things that left me in affliction
but i’m restin’ because i’m more healed n delivered than i’ve ever been
his love… the life i live… all of it’s beautiful because He is at the center of it
never thought i’d fall in love with life again
but here i am, with a song in my soul, and breathing in the air of truly living
i’ve fallen in love with life again
where my soul felt it could barely keep breathin’
i’ve been rescued from the deep waters of addiction
may my heart continue to fall in love with my true life, Jesus, again and again
"He reached down from heaven and rescued me; he drew me out of deep waters.” 2 Samuel 22:17
