All Fall Short



To the serious seeker
 To the late night watcher of a double feature
 Each of us is responsible to a holy God
 We can either receive or reject
 I bet your sorry that we met
 But no one is perfect except for the Lord
 Many of us stumble at his word
 Yet it all comes down to what he did on the cross
 this was never meant to be a tragic loss
 Our flesh hates the things of God
 Wants to instead serve sin, self & Satan
 It's not a one time shopping event at your local seven eleven
 It's all based upon a cross
 Jesus Christ died 2, ooo years ago
 on the cross for all the world to see
 What was his prayer what was his final plea
 Father please forgive them for they know not what they do
 He said the prayer now the rest is up to you
 Just like after 911 we all need to come together
 Until you walk in another persons shoes you have no right to sing the blues...
 God is faithful to his call such as a boy with a bat and ball
 Hitting it across the street at the mall
 Sin is actions in which humans rebel against God
 Miss their true purpose for their lives
 Surrendering instead to the prince of the air more then God cause all their deeds were evil
 We all fall short of the glory of God
 Take some time out to smell the roses
 Everyday is a gift a new start to begin again
 Learn to take it one day at a time
 You can't find it in the clouds or even a sign
 Start to really love each other brother
 No one is perfect except for the Lord
 Even the best it bound to fall
 So you are seeking inspiration just look around you
 Heal the hurts & wounds that bind you
 Learn from each of your mistakes
 Choose to keep your head up & walk by faith
 In time you will shine
 Stop worrying and bringing yourself down
 Don't ever wear your head down in a frown
 We all make mistakes in this great game of life
 Crisis maybe an opportunity to change
 Live your life the best way you can
 Look to the man who died for you with a plan
 Faces your fears with sweet angelic tears
