Sometimes I hear a song and it just  pulls on my heart strings.  This is one of those songs.  I think it says perfectly what it means to find a relationship with the King of Kings.  It's not about religion or rules.  Its about falling passionately in love with an awesome God.  When you fall in love, you do everything you can to please that person, to bring a smile to their face, to make them feel special.  You find yourself changing for the better whether you try to or not.  You can't get them off your mind and everything makes you think about them.

That's exactly how it should be with our Creator.  You can tell someone about him all day, or you can hear about him all day.  But when you come close enough to see a glimpse of His love, his splendor, you can't help but fall head over heels in love!

Give me rules 
I will break them 
Give me lines 
I will cross them 
I need more than a truth to believe 
I need a truth that lives, moves, and breathes 
To sweep me off my feet 
It ought to be 

More like falling in love 
Than something to believe in 
More like losing my heart 
Than giving my allegiance 
Caught up, called out 
Come take a look at me now 
It's like I'm falling, oh 
It's like I'm falling in love 

Give me words 
I'll misuse them 
Obligations 
I'll misplace them 
'Cause all religion ever made of me 
Was just a sinner with a stone tied to my feet 
It never set me free 
It's gotta be 

CHORUS 

...It's like I'm falling in love, love, love 
Deeper and deeper 
It was love that made 
Me a believer 
In more than a name, a faith, a creed 
Falling in love with Jesus brought the change in me
