Gravity

Psalm 38

As I read the passage (Psalm 38) the song "Gravity" by Shawn Mcdonald just happened to come to my attention. Here is the youtube link to this song:

None of us can escape the pull of gravity, much the same way we can't escape the pull of sin. No matter how hard we try, we are powerless against our bondage to sin. The Psalmist appears to have come to this realization and cries out to the only one who can save him.

"For I am about to fall, and my pain is ever with me...I am troubled by my sin...O Lord, do not forsake me; be not far from me, O my God. Come quickly to help me, O Lord my Savior".
