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
