Just had to share this song with you. What an uplifting song!
Give me rules, I will break them
Show me lines, I will cross them
I need more than a truth to believe
I need a truth that lives, moves, and breathes
To sweep me off my feet,
It’s gotta be…
More like falling in love than something to believe in
More like losing my heart than giving my allegiance
Caught up, called out, come take a look at me now
It’s like I’m falling, oh
It’s like I’m falling in love
Give me words, I’ll misuse them
Obligations, I’ll misplace them
‘Cause all religion ever made of me
Was just a sinner with a stone tied to my feet
It never set me free,
It’s gotta be…
More like falling in love than something to believe in
More like losing my heart than giving my allegiance
Caught up, called out, come take a look at me now
It’s like I’m falling, oh
It’s like I’m falling in love, love, love
Deeper and deeper
It was love that made me a believer
In more than a name, a faith, a creed
Falling in love with Jesus brought the change in me
It’s gotta be…
More like falling in love than something to believe in
More like losing my heart than giving my allegiance
Caught up, called out, come take a look at me now
It’s like I’m falling, oh
It’s like I’m falling…
It’s gotta be…
More like falling in love than something to believe in
More like losing my heart than giving my allegiance
Caught up, called out, come take a look at me now
It’s like I’m falling, oh
It’s like I’m falling in love
I’m falling in love
~ MORE LIKE FALLING IN LOVE

If you’d like to take a listen for yourself, here’s a link to a sample at Amazon.com:
I like the way this songwriter thinks! He knows that it’s more than just Talkin’ the Talk -- it’s about Walkin’ the Walk!!
Elijah once challenged King Ahab of Israel & the priests of Baal: “How long will you hesitate between two opinions? If the Lord is God, follow Him.” [I Kings 18:21]
John, the prophet of Revelation, also passed on God’s message to some of the early churches. First, to Ephesus: “I know your deeds and your toil and perseverance, and that you cannot endure evil men, and you put to the test those who call themselves apostles, and they are not, and you found them to be false; and you have perseverance and have endured for My Name’s sake, and have not grown weary. But I have this against you, that you have left your first love. Remember therefore from where you have fallen, and repent and do the deeds you did at first; or else I am coming to you and will remove your lampstand out of its place--unless you repent.” [Revelation 2:2-5]
Again, he told Laodicea: “I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot; I would that you were cold or hot. So because you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will spit you out of My mouth.” [Revelation 3:15-16]
On the other hand, the church of Philadelphia received a different message: “I know your deeds. Behold, I have put before you an open door which no one can shut, because you have a little power, and have kept My word, and have not denied My Name…He who overcomes, I will make him a pillar in the temple of My God, and he will not go out from it anymore; and I will write upon him the Name of My God, and the name of the city of My God, the New Jerusalem, which comes down out of heaven.” [Revelation 3:8,12]
So…………..
Which church reminds you of yourself?
I can tell you that I can relate more to both Ephesus & Laodicea than to the faithful of Philadelphia! These words indict me for the times I’ve lived a lukewarm life, having left my First Love far behind.
Fortunately, we have a forgiving, merciful Father. So always remember: he who overcomes!
