If I Fell Today

I'm on the bleeding edge of the western world
In the middle of a story that I've left untold
Until not very long ago
I sat cold in the summer on a couch with my mother
And death was hanging heavy in the room
But Jesus making all things new walked right out of a tomb
And sat by my side sharing the grief wiping the tears from my eyes
To remind how I came alive as a kid with eyes so wide
I knew all that I needed to decide to let my little light shine
But rung after rung on this ladder I climb under threats of violence
Left my inner child to die in silence
I'm reminded
If I fell today here's what I'd regret if I didn't say

Death won't have the final laugh
This city's been painted gray in ash
While I'm here in the hall of smoke and mirrors
I need eyes to see I need ears to hear
And someday when my body fades
Why would I wanna keep what I can give away
Jesus called me by a new name and in Jesus name I will remain

I'm on the bleeding edge of a hiding place
This hole in my heart is caving in
I'm crawling in the dark I must admit
I've played the tired part the spoiled kid
I've wandered so far too close to the sun
Of course I've been blind and on my own
I can only see behind
But He came like a father and called me home
With smiling eyes and open arms
He came like a surgeon to cut ties with fake friends and factory farms
And set me free into the truest freedom
Scary freedom joyful freedom
To sing with abandon how much I need Him
He took me by the hand for a walk to Eden
Like history repeating, all this open bleeding
Is for a season I'm believing
Since you came into my life
Every part of me made real
Truth came to the light
I know that you can heal
Now I understand what love was meant to be
And if I fell today here's what I'd regret if I didn't say

Death won't have the final laugh
This city's been painted gray in ash
While I'm here in the hall of smoke and mirrors
I need eyes to see and ears to hear
And someday when my body fades why would I wanna keep what I can give away
And if I fell today here's what I'd regret if I didn't say
Death won't have the final laugh
This city's been painted gray in ash
While I'm here in the hall of smoke and mirrors
I need eyes to see and ears to hear
And someday when my body fades why would I wanna keep what I can give away
Jesus called me by a new name and in Jesus name I will remain

Let my story be a song for the glory that belongs to your name
