Jonathan Butler - Falling In Love With Jesus Lyrics

“Falling in Love With Jesus” by Jonathan Butler is a brief song of personal devotion. The first verse repeats the title three times and then gives the verdict: it was “the best thing I ever, ever done.” The simple line reads like a testimony, a decision looked back on with gratitude rather than a doctrine being argued.

The second verse explains why. In His arms, the singer says, there is protection and no disconnection, and there is no place the singer would rather be. The lyrics then repeat both verses, so the song works as a circle that returns to the same two ideas of choosing Jesus and resting in His care.

The themes are close to Psalm 91:1, which speaks of dwelling in the shelter of the Most High, and Romans 8:38-39, which says nothing can separate believers from the love of God in Christ. John 15:9 also invites remaining in His love. The song is short, warm and meant to be sung easily.
