We Fall Down Songtext
von Mark Lowry

Cursing every step of the way
He bore a heavy load
To the market ten miles away
The journey took its toll
And every day he passed a monastery′s high cathedral walls
And it made his life seem miserable and small

And he wondered how it would be
To live in such a place
To be warm, well fed and at peace
To shut the world away
So when he passed a priest who walked the walls beyond the iron gate
He said, "Tell me of your life inside that place"


And the priest replied
We fall down, we get up
We fall down, we get up
We fall down, we get up
And the saints are just the sinners who fall down and get up

Disappointment followed him home
He'd hoped for so much more
But he saw himself in a light
He had never seen before
′Cause if the priest who failed can find the grace of God to be enough
Then there must be some hope for the rest of us
There must be some hope left for us

'Cause we fall down, we get up
We fall down, we get up
We fall down, we get up
And the saints are just the sinners who fall down and get up
We fall down, we get up
We fall down, we get up
And the saints are just the sinners
Yeah, the saints are just the sinners who fall down and get up
