The Fall

I didn't want the valley

I didn't want the dark

I didn't want a story

Of wounds and broken hearts

Nobody wants to stumble

Or ever hit the ground

Nobody wants to have to hurt

For healing to be found

But I see it when I look back now

And I can tell you this without a doubt

If I never hit rock bottom

If I never lost my way

If I never had to hit my knees

And call upon Your name

Then I wouldn't know You, Jesus

Not the way I do today

I wouldn't really know Your love at all

If I didn't know the fall

You heard me when I called you

You met me in my need

When I was barely holding on, Lord

You held on to me

And I can see it when I look back now

And I can tell you this without a doubt

If I never hit rock bottom

If I never lost my way

If I never had to hit my knees

And call upon Your name

Then I wouldn't know You, Jesus

Not the way I do today

I wouldn't really know your love at all

If I didn't know the fall

If I didn't know the fall

If I didn't know the sleepless nights (ooh-ooh)

The tears I cried (ooh-ooh)

The moments when I questioned why (ooh)

'Cause through it all (ooh-ooh)

You stayed right by my side (ooh-ooh)

If I never hit rock bottom

If I never lost my way

If I never had to hit my knees

And call upon Your name

Then I wouldn't know You, Jesus

Not the way I do today

I wouldn't really know Your love at all

No, no, I wouldn't really know Your love at all

If I didn't know the fall
