Lyrics 
Verse 1:
Falling from the truth and turning from Your life in me
While all that I can do is watch as I flow down this stream
Chorus:
I know that You, Jesus, can save me (yeah)
From my life of ever-present sin (whoa)
Your death is my life. You resurrected me (yeah)
Let me let You let me let You in.
Verse 2:
Though I've turned away, I can hear You calling me
I hear what You say, but still I am not listening
(Chorus)
(Interlude)
Verse 3:
Shifting as the sand, I may fall away again
Jesus, take my hand. Give me faith until the end (and beyond)
(Chorus(2x))

Description
Verse 1:
It's almost like I am falling down the side of a cliff and have no control over the fall - I can't stop falling no matter how much I know I need to be at the top. I compare it here to flowing down a stream, as if the current is pulling away from your only help on the shore.
Verse 2:
Even as I'm flowing downstream, I can hear His gentle voice calling me back. The problem here isn't hearing though, it's listening - and there's a difference. Listening involves acting on what you have heard, where hearing is purely passive.
Verse 3:
Watching an ocean shore for any period of time will allow one to see that the grains of sand never stay in one place for long. Wind, water, and many other things shift the sand over and over again. All that I can do is ask that Jesus come into my life more than ever, and make me believe like a child - wholeheartedly - and never doubt again.
Chorus:
I know that only Jesus can save me from myself (as in my doubts, my stumbles.), and I know that God is real. His death purchased my life - I was resurrected. All I need to do to really understand this is let God in, and I am asking that He let me do that.
Overall:
I know that Christ died so that I could be made clean. I know that God created the heavens and the earth. I know that our Creator is everything the Bible says He is. I know this, and yet at times, I still doubt. It's a tug and pull. That's crazy...but I guess our feeble human minds do that from time to time. In this song, I ask God to permanently let me let Him into my life, so that I will never doubt again.
Matthew 8:25
"Where is your faith?" he asked his disciples."
Luke 24:25
He said to them, "How foolish you are, and how slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken."
