Lenny LeBlanc - Falling Lyrics
Released: 01 Jan 1990
Lyrics
I think about winter when I was with her
And the snow was falling down
Warmed by the fire
I love being by her
When there's no one else around
And I'm falling
Woah, I'm falling
I'm falling in love with you
I think about summer
My head was swimming
You wrote my name in the sand
We walked together
Hoping forever
Please don't let go of my hand
Cause I'm falling
Woah, I'm falling
Oh, I'm falling in love with you
The fall and the springtime
Were like in between times
You're here and then you're gone away
Woah, I just wanted to say
Won't you please, please stay
Cause I'm falling
Oh, I'm falling
I'm falling in love with you
Woah, I'm falling
Ya, I'm falling
Oh, I'm falling in love with you
In love with you
In love with you

Falling - Lenny LeBlanc | An Evening of Hope Concert
Meaning & Inspiration
Lenny LeBlanc's performance of "Falling" from the An Evening of Hope Concert, released on October 11, 2021, stands as a compelling moment of worship captured live. This particular version offers a quiet yet powerful invitation, stepping directly into a space of vulnerability and surrender. The song isn't about a physical descent but rather a spiritual yielding, a letting go into something secure and trustworthy. It speaks to that profound internal shift where the effort of holding on is released, and one leans entirely into the grace and presence of a higher power.
At its core, the song navigates the experience of relinquishing control, allowing oneself to be held. This "falling" isn't one of failure or despair, but rather an active choice to cease striving and simply rest. It mirrors the quiet confidence we find when we truly understand that God is not just capable, but eternally willing to sustain us. It’s the posture described in Psalm 46:10, "Be still, and know that I am God." The song creates an atmosphere that encourages this stillness, suggesting that in letting go, we actually find our most stable ground, anchored not in our own strength, but in His.
The musical arrangement and LeBlanc's delivery on this recording underscore this message of peaceful surrender. There's a simplicity and tenderness that avoids any sense of drama, instead conveying a profound sense of peace found in giving way. This resonates deeply with the biblical narrative of salvation, which is presented not as something we achieve, but as a gift we receive by grace through faith (Ephesians 2:8-9). The act of "falling" can be seen as the act of placing our weight entirely on Christ, trusting that His finished work is sufficient. It's the opposite of trying to fly on our own power; it's accepting the promise of rest He offers, as in Matthew 11:28-30 where He invites the weary to come to Him and find rest for their souls.
Through its gentle melody and focused message, "Falling" draws us into the truth that God's love is an unwavering foundation. Romans 8:38-39 assures us that nothing can separate us from this love, and the song taps into the feeling of security that knowledge brings. To fall into God's arms is to fall into a love that is patient, kind, and utterly reliable. It’s an experience beautifully depicted throughout Scripture, from the shepherd carrying the lost sheep (Luke 15:4-7) to the father welcoming the prodigal son home (Luke 15:20-24). This song encourages us to abandon our self-sufficiency and embrace the secure, unchanging embrace of divine love, reminding all who hear it that there is perfect safety in yielding to the One who holds all things together.
