Jesus says in the Bible, " your spirit may be willing, but your flesh in weak" it's talking about how you lose your way, ya know? "fall asleep" like you forgot Who your living for, or just lose your faith or seem to be focused on other things that you forgot about your faith..." my eyelids grow heavy and i might just fall asleep" you try but maybe your gave up and lost your faith or like hat i stated earlier and also " walking around in my sleep, running into walls i cannot see falling and scrapingon my face, ignoring the SOFTEST SPOKEN GRACE" lol not yelling =P, like i was saying, it's like if you made too many mistakes, you let yourself feel down and make yourself think there's no hope anymore and you forget, lost, ignored what God is trying to tell you, reaching out to you..." how many times will i go and take the bait, only for this hook to rip right through my face" its like you try to pick yourself up but everytime you think you got it, it falls on you again, it's like you feel like your being played at, you try and try and try and you only fall for the "bait" and make yourself feel low, and once again, fallingout of your faith, then your seeking God again and asking " how can love you back, what can i do to show you?" maybe feeling guilty for losing your faith, or maybe not losing but maybe you had found God and asking him " how can i love you back what can i do to show you?" and " His peircing eyes meet mine" He's letting you know He'll never fail you not matter what choices in life you make, even losing your faith in Him, it's like if someone said " look me in the eyes and tell me the truth" Bible says " God is light, truth and love" and God's saying " please simply stay awake, talk to me and i'll hear you" He wants you to "Wake up" really see whats going on around you and if you just remind in Him He'll remain in you, since we are given free will, he make are choices it's up to us to see if we follow the right path and that He never leaves you, but oyu can make the choice to leave him... and even if you do He doesn't love you any less, and "talk to me and i'll hear you" is like prayer, he always listens no matter what, sometimes are prayers aren't answered right away because He wants to know if you have Patients and if you have that it means you trust, cause if youd didn't have Patience and you were all like " why is this taking long" it's like doubting but He wants you to know that everthing takes time and He wants you to trust in Him, and " dont fall asleep this time gotta stay awake, gotta stay awake" the person is trying to be positive in remaining in God and not trying to forget " dont you see me reaching for you? i swear i really do love you" thats like saying " i'm always gonna be here, i'm reaching for you, i'm not gonna let you fall, i'll always be with you and i'll never give up on you, never" and the " i swear i really do love you" is like saying " after God helped you pick yourself up, your just saying i'm here to stay, i really do love you i swear" like pleading, like if you were saying sorry to someone, your always saying " i swear i'm really sorry" like foregiveness, saying sorry, confirming it, also to know more go to www.flyleafonline.com and go to "band" and click FAQ( facts, answers and questions, they'll confirm all this=P toodles!
