Even Angels Fall
Falling Grace: Unveiling Life's Imperfections in Brett Westgrove's Melody
Lyrics
He stood at the pulpit for 20 something years
He served at the church podium for approximately 20 years.
Never let a Sunday sermon pass him by
He never missed delivering a sermon on Sundays.
But in a hotel room in Lincoln, he failed to follow his own preaching
In a hotel room in Lincoln, he didn't follow his own teachings/preaching.
On the night he chose to leave his ring behind
He chose to leave his wedding ring behind on the night he decided to depart.
Now a million different memories flood his mind
Countless memories overwhelm his thoughts now.
She sits in that 6 by 8, it's been 20 something years
For about 20 years, she's spent time in a confined space (6 by 8).
Not a moment ticks by she don't relive the truth
Not a moment goes by when she doesn't relive the truth of her situation.
At a tavern after work she thought "what could it hurt"
After work at a tavern, she made a decision without realizing the consequences.
That mother's worst mistake on a Tuesday afternoon
Her biggest mistake as a mother happened on a Tuesday afternoon.
She had just one, he was only two
She had only one drink, her child was just two years old.
Life ain't a perfect hallelujah
Life isn't always a flawless celebration or victory.
It ain't always what you thought it'd be
It doesn't always turn out as expected.
There's no going back you can't rewind
You can't undo or go back in life.
When the devil knocks and you pay him mind
When you succumb to temptation, there's no reversing the consequences.
Know you're not alone
Even in tough times, remember you're not alone.
Sometimes even angels fall
Even beings perceived as pure and good can experience downfall.
He took that team to state, first time in 20 something years
He led a team to the state for the first time in around 20 years.
Throwin' magic underneath those Friday night lights
Displaying exceptional skill and prowess under the Friday night lights.
Not his name on the prescription but it turned into addiction
Although not prescribed to him, he became addicted to a substance.
That changed his life and lost him that full-ride
This addiction altered his life and cost him a scholarship.
He lived for takin' hits but this time a different kind
Accustomed to physical hits, this time he faced a different kind of hit.
Life ain't a perfect hallelujah
Life doesn't always resemble a flawless celebration or victory.
It ain't always what you thought it'd be
It doesn't align with our expectations at times.
There's no going back you can't rewind
There's no way to reverse or redo certain choices.
When the devil knocks and you pay him mind
Once you entertain temptation, the repercussions can't be undone.
Know you're not alone
Remember, you're not alone even during difficult times.
Sometimes even angels fall
Even individuals perceived as pure and good can face downfall.
Satan trembles when he see
Even the devil fears witnessing the weakest of believers praying.
Even the weakest saint down on his knees
It's a powerful sight when even the most vulnerable believer kneels in prayer.
Life ain't a perfect hallelujah
Life isn't always a flawless celebration or victory.
It ain't always what you thought it'd be
It doesn't always conform to our expectations.
There's no going back you can't rewind
You can't undo or reverse certain decisions.
When the devil knocks and you pay him mind
Once you heed the temptations, their consequences cannot be erased.
Know you're not alone
Remember, you're not alone, even amidst difficult circumstances.
Sometimes even angels fall
Even those considered angelic can experience downfall at times.
Sometimes even angels fall
Even beings perceived as pure and good can face adversity.
