#2 - Fall Apart

Welcome back! I hope that you enjoyed last week’s post. This week’s song is another heavy hitter (a song that leaves a strong impact on you). You may know Josh Wilson for his well known song I Refuse, but after today you should know him for “Fall Apart” and that he’s an awesome songwriter. This song is great no matter what stages of life that you are currently in. We’ve all been there when everything seems to fall apart. If you are there today or have been recently hopefully this song will encourage you.

The first time that I heard this song I thought “How did Josh read my mind then write a song about it?” Within a matter of 3 minutes and 28 seconds I relived some of the harder points in my life and was reminded of God’s faithfulness during those times. The point of view comes from a person who just realizes that he experiences God greater in times of trouble. If you’ve already realized this reality, then you get to watch another person’s point of view transform into something new.

To me, this is the real beauty of song. Within just a few minutes, Josh was able to take the majority of us simultaneously on a journey about hardship in the presence of God. There’s only one more way of doing something like this - the Bible. It only took one listen to understand the song, but God used this song through multiple listenings to teach me more about His faithfulness and love for me. Listen to it a couple of days this week. Spend some time listening to it because I feel that God can use this song to teach you something new about Himself.
