[spoken word] I Tripped Up This was a line I heard years ago. I gave it no thought. It didn't resonate with my life or I believed I was secure enough to not need it. When we fall, we typically fall down, on the ground, hurt, and broken. When I was young, I never took this to heart or thought about what it meant. I Tripped up. Until, I experienced the full spectrum. Went through it all mentally, physically, emotionally.....and saw the other side. I tripped up One step closer One more understanding God showed a light Through that tunnel When I fully grasped the concept, I looked through my life and saw where He was. Where I grew each time. Being so stubborn, I still encounter the feeling of dread, the unknowing, the loss of His presence daily Even, the inability to hear Him That can send me spiraling But I know I tripped up One step closer One more understanding God showed a light through another tunnel I didn't fall down When I did, He lifted me up So gentle Like a flower with one last petal He cared enough to show me the light I fight to feel it everyday So Let me trip up Lord Each step Leading me closer to you
