Jeff and Sheri Easter - Falling In Love (With You) Lyrics
Lyrics
I looked around for a long, long time
Searching for someone to love
I keep my distance, didn't fall too fast
Afraid of losing too much
I was alone and so afraid
I wouldn't know just what to do
But the greatest choice I ever made
Was to fall in love with you
And I'm falling, falling in love with you
Every day, I'm falling in love with you
Love isn't always something you can trust
It will sometimes let you down
But your love is different, it's always there
Even when I'm not around
Even when everyone has walked away
You said you wouldn't leave
Today, yesterday and forever
You will always be there for me
And I'm falling, falling in love with you
Every day, I'm falling in love with you
Your love is unconditional
You loved me when I was unlovable
You created this love
You've given just for me
That's why I sing
I'm falling, falling in love with you
Every day, I'm falling in love with you
And I'm falling, falling in love with you
Every day, I'm falling in love with you

Falling In Love (With You)
Meaning & Inspiration
Released on April 23, 2002, as part of their album *My, Oh My!*, Jeff and Sheri Easter’s "Falling In Love (With You)" offers a profound exploration of divine affection, presenting it not merely as a song but as a testament to the transformative power of God's unwavering presence. The composition immediately delves into a deeply personal narrative, echoing the universal human quest for belonging and genuine connection. It paints a vivid picture of a soul long searching, wary from past experiences, and hesitant to fully commit, fearing the pain of loss. This initial vulnerability, a shared human condition of loneliness and uncertainty about navigating life's complexities, serves as the poignant backdrop against which the song's central revelation shines: the pivotal decision to embrace a relationship with the divine. This choice is heralded as the "greatest choice," marking a profound turning point from apprehension to spiritual commitment, a surrender akin to the invitation in Joshua 24:15 to "choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve."
The core message of "Falling In Love (With You)" hinges on the distinct nature of God's love compared to human affections. While acknowledging that earthly love can often disappoint and falter, the song beautifully contrasts this with the steadfastness of divine love. It highlights the deeply comforting truth that God's love remains constant, "always there," irrespective of our immediate presence or actions. This resonates powerfully with Scripture, as Hebrews 13:5 assures us, "Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you," a promise reiterated throughout the Bible, such as in Deuteronomy 31:6 and Joshua 1:5. The lyric's affirmation that God remains even "when everyone has walked away" speaks directly to the lonely valleys of life, offering the assurance found in Psalm 27:10, "Though my father and mother forsake me, the Lord will receive me." This eternal commitment, spanning "Today, yesterday and forever," underscores God's unchanging character and everlasting faithfulness, a theme central to passages like Malachi 3:6 and Lamentations 3:22-23.
What elevates "Falling In Love (With You)" beyond a simple declaration is its emphasis on the continuous, unfolding nature of this spiritual journey. The repeated declaration, "Every day, I'm falling in love with you," portrays faith not as a static event but as an ongoing process of deepening devotion and revelation. It's a daily pilgrimage of discovery, echoing the sentiment of 2 Corinthians 4:16, "Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day." This daily renewal in love is rooted in the understanding that God's affection is truly unconditional. The song proclaims, "You loved me when I was unlovable," a powerful reflection of Romans 5:8, which states, "But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us." This divine grace, extended to us not because of our merit but despite our imperfections, forms the very foundation of our capacity to love Him in return, as 1 John 4:19 teaches, "We love because he first loved us."
Ultimately, the song culminates in an act of worship, recognizing God as the ultimate source and creator of this profound, personal love. The assertion that God "created this love" and gave it "just for me" acknowledges His sovereignty and intimate involvement in our lives, reminding us that love itself originates from Him, for "God is love" (1 John 4:8). The natural outcome of such a revelation is praise, expressed in the simple yet profound statement, "That's why I sing." This transformation from a solitary searcher to a joyous worshiper encapsulates the journey of many who encounter the boundless love of Christ. "Falling In Love (With You)" serves as a melodic invitation to embrace this dynamic, daily relationship with the Divine, offering solace, assurance, and an inspiring call to immerse ourselves ever deeper into the eternal embrace of God's unconditional love.
