I wanted to start this new blog because there is so much going on right now and I am trying to make sense of it. I have found when I am journaling (or blogging, I guess), it helps me make sense of what's happening. So often as I've been writing and examining what's going on around me, the Lord seems to find a way to get my attention.
So what does it mean to 'Exit The Fall'? In order to understand that, I have to share with you where I got the phrase (it's not original - I'm not that creative). 'Exit The Fall' is a line from a song called 'Exit Calypsan (Only In My Dreams)'
The inspiration for the song comes from Psalm 73:20, which talks about how the life of the wicked is only a dream that will be gone when they wake up. The singer is imploring people to wake up from their sinful lives and 'exit the fall', that is, walk away from their sin and turn to Christ.
Exit Calypsan (Only In My Dreams)
This white blows, so softly
The movement still is in my mind
This flag from in Reedsport
Will start to catch beneath the wind
Catch beneath the wind
It's only in your dreams
It's only in your dreams
So exit the fall and now it's over
It's only in your dreams
This flight comes, it's nameless
The dark is calling out my name
Escape with no traces
This movement burns inside my veins
Burns inside my veins
By now this tide is here
I thought I made it clear
This is the threat
This is the fall
And now it's over...

ReplyDeleteI like the line, and read the Psalm its from. It certainly is a call for people to abandon the ways of sin; but what is it internal meaning for the Psalmist .. this question far more intrigues me, especially when he starts out the psalm saying, 'my feet had almost slipped, etc...' then goes on in the middle of the psalm to say, 'my spirit embittered, I was senseless, ignorant and a brute before you..' HUm, I wander what 'exit' I'm needing to observe? thanks again.
