Pre-Fallen (song)

Note: This is another favorite from the archives. I thought it was fitting to pull this one out in tribute to Mr. Tom Petty in light of his recent passing. I hope he truly loved Jesus as he mentions the girl in his "Free Fallin' " song does and I hope he's in Heaven now.

This one is a bit like John Milton’s works. It describes how we got a “Paradise Lost” but it also describes how we can get “Paradise Regained”. Jesus has already done the job! And though we still live in a fallen world, it doesn’t have to be a heartbreaker as the initial outlook was. Rather, Jesus is a heart saver and when we give Him our lives, it’s like we’re pre-fallen!

“Pre-Fallen”
(parody of “Free Fallin’ “ by Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers)
(parody by Nathan Ludwick 12/31/2010)
(Romans 3, Romans 10, John 7:37-38, John 8:32-36, 1 Peter 1:18-23, Genesis 3, John 1:12, Matthew 11:28, John 14:1-6, Revelation 3:20, Matthew 10:8, Ezekiel 36:25-29)

In a good world, we’d love The Father,
Love Jesus and The Holy Ghost too
In a good world- baby, now sinless
Rejoices- it’s like Eden 2!

(And) it seems long away- living in Laodicea
There’s a tree with flaming sword to guard
What a sad day when we go and eat forbidden
We’ve been bad, boy- it’s breaking God’s heart

(Genesis) 3- the fall of man!
Adam (and) Eve- we’ve all sinned!

And it’s handed all down through Man’s family
Move east now- 1st. Peter 1- read on
And all the bad, oi- it’s planted in the marrow
But The Good Lord can form us brand new hearts

And now, uh- He’s – He’s calling!
Yeah, get a free- overhauling
He’s calling- it’s, uh- Jesus calling and uh,
We’ve fallen, read, uh- 3 Romans and uh,

I want ya right now- read in 10 Romans
In verse 9, get saved by The Christ
We’re gonna be called children of God then
Gonna leave this world far behind

[And we’re free
(Free falling into Jesus’ calling and uh)
We’re all in
(Free falling, I’m really all in and uh)
Yeah, we’re free
(Prefallen- it’s like we’re prefallen and uh)
We’re all in
(Free falling in uh, Matt. Eleven two eight (11:28)) ]

[Repeat above and fade]

(Recall in Matt. 10- free calling and uh)
Yeah, we’re free!
[alternate line for repeats]
