DC Talk - What If I Stumble Lyrics






[Brennan Manning:]
The greatest single cause of atheism in the world today
Is Christians who acknowledge Jesus with their lips
Then walk out the door and deny him by their lifestyle.
That is what an unbelieving world simply finds unbelievable.

What if I stumble?
What if I fall?

Is this one for the people?
Is this one for the Lord?
Or do I simply serenade
For things I must afford?

You can jumble them together
My conflict still remains
Holiness is calling
In the midst of courting fame

'Cause I see the trust in their eyes
Though the sky is falling
They need Your love in their lives
Compromise is calling

What if I stumble
What if I fall?
What if I lose my step
And I make fools of us all?

Will the love continue
When my walk becomes a crawl?
What if I stumble
And what if I fall?

What if I stumble
What if I fall?
You never turn in
The heat of it all
What if I stumble
What if I fall?

Father please forgive me
For I cannot compose
The fear that lives within me
Or the rate at which it grows

If struggle has a purpose
On the narrow road you've carved
Why do I dread my trespasses
Will leave a deadly scar

Do they see the fear in my eyes?
Are they so revealing?
This time I cannot disguise
All the doubt I'm feeling

What if I stumble
What if I fall?
What if I lose my step
And I make fools of us all?

Will the love continue
When my walk becomes a crawl?
What if I stumble
And what if I fall?

What if I stumble?
Everyone's got to crawl
When you know that
You're up against a wall
It's about to fall
Everyone's got to crawl
When you know that

Everyone's got to crawl
When you know that
You're up against a wall
It's about to fall
Everyone's got to crawl
When you know that

I hear You whispering my name
(You say)
My love for You will never change
(Never change)

What if I stumble
What if I fall?
What if I lose my step
And I make fools of us all?

Will the love continue
When my walk becomes a crawl?
What if I stumble
And what if I fall?

What if I stumble
And what if I fall?
What if I lose my step
And I make fools of us all?

Will the love continue
When my walk becomes a crawl?
What if I stumble
And what if I fall?

What if I stumble
What if I fall?
You never turn in
The heat of it all
What if I stumble
What if I fall?
You are my comfort
And my God

Is this one for the people
Is this one for the Lord?

  9. m.... ....

    Most of you hypocrites stumbled into a voting booth in 2016 and showed your true colours.

    m.... ....

    Firstly.....the world's a stage. Secondly....Earth is level contained and stationary...""space"" doesnt even exist !! Our lives have been based upon the "Lord of this world" ...(Satan) ...A murderer, lier and and deceiver ! Don't be deceived brother.

  10. S.... G....

    That you Lord Jesus Christ my Lord and savior

  11. T.... C....

    Notice he said an unbelieving world world hence the word

  12. T.... ....

    God bless heal and save you Jesus Christ loves you

    What If I Stumble what if I fall who would really care

    k.... c....

    Did you know..... Atheism is really really bad for your health.

  14. A.... ....

    this song has been a beacon of light and guideline

  15. S.... ....

    RIP Toby's son Truett

  16. d.... ....

    I ‘be been listening to this song since the ‘90’s & it still grabs my heart today Each of us stumbles @ the very least daily: If not falls. Only HE can help us get up & walk again with purpose, to return to Him❣️

  17. s.... y....

    This would have been a good theme song for some TV preachers in the 1980s that were truly seeking to Glorify God, then gave in to fame or fortune

    s.... y....

    Yep, beware the unhumble

  18. S.... T....

    People, when you stumble, when you fall, remember, hes still walking with you, still there, no matter what. When your name is written in the Lambs Book of Life, you are saved.

  19. S.... M....

    Our actions and words are forever on the internet. The things we do daily by just speaking and acting out in public, this is the Christ like person or the beastly person we show the world. This is only an issue if we professed a Christian demeanor and choose to believe you/we are devoid of sin. Without sin we would not need a savior. Prayer is our link to the Father/Son/Holy ghost, a man no matter how well read, ordained can not remove sin.

  20. J.... G....

    Classic never gets old ps askpastorjohn.com

  21. D.... E....

    God Bless my brothers & Sisters in Christ love ya

  22. J.... E....

    Thank you lord for your unending love and mercy ^^

  23. r.... ....

    There's been several times in my own Walk that I've fallen, but what gets me... this song makes me think of some of these Televangelists who make millions yet put little of that money back into their communities and other charities. There are so many following them and many are lead into very dark places.

  24. N.... F....

    No one can makes Christians look like fools as much as Ken Ham.

    N.... F....

    @non de plume because the whole idea of young Earth creationism is completely absurd and flies in the face of all evidence

  25. M.... C....

    One of the greatest

  26. E.... M....

    I love this song

  27. D.... P....

    I always stumble and fall but i couldnt get up with out the Trinity this fleah is so evil its the spirt that counts THANK YOU LORD

  28. A.... R....

    🙏🙏🙏

  29. J.... M....

    Romans 14:12
    So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God.
    Each person chooses to reject or accept Christ.
    My prayer is that God will keep my actions, attitudes, reactions, etc, attuned to Him so that nobody can use me as an excuse to reject Christ.
    God, make it so....moment by moment by moment....

    J.... M....

    In Jesus mighty name we pray

  30. b.... t....

    jesus is the way. so sad people cannot accept it.............

  31. J.... L....

    I want to change please pray for my soul's forgiveness I'm scared

    J.... L....

    Jt L Pray to Jesus Christ for forgiveness and tell Him you want Him to come into your heart and be your Savior.

    J.... L....

    Hey, praying for you!! I'd you need to talk, message me! Read Romans 10:9-10! Believe it with your whole heart and whisper it to yourself! There is nothing to be afraid of! His grace and mercy are real and He gives a comfort and peace that nothing else can top!

  32. M.... P....

    Thus song btings tears to my eyes. As a christian i dont want to let god down.

  33. M.... I....

    Man, we can all relate to having hard times, trials that seem to never end and can make us feel trapped, unspiritual or wonder what did I do for this to be happening now. Sin is a trap, denial of our need of God is useless to us and leaves us powerless. Thank you God for loving me so much in spite of my mis Habs and attitude. Thank you for replacing my misses with Grace and always helping me land on my feet with you. There is no greater joy than knowing you and your presence. Thanks for picking us up when we fall❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

  34. S.... H....

    Thank you LORD!!!

  35. L.... E....

    Super nice song! My best todays' discovery. Good job inspired by God. Carry on the songmaking!!!

    IMA RECOVERE METH ADDICT AND I WORRY SOMETIMES ABOUT SCREWING UP AND MAKING THE CHIRCH LOOK BAD. GOD GIVE ME THE STRENGTH TO CONTINUE THE WALK IN GOODNESS AND TRUTH IN JESUS NAME!

    V.... V....

    Vincent Vargas 🙏🏽🙏🏽. My brother and sister-in-law are too. They’ve made it over 10 years. Trust in Jesus and go to a good church. The Lord will lead you to one. Going alone is a sure way to become overcome with working desires. God bless you! DON’T ever give up!

    V.... V....

    Don't worry about making the church look bad, pray to God! When times get rough and the urge to use is there, just repeat the name of Jesus! There is power in His name alone!!

  42. A.... ....

    Praise you God, thank you for sending your son to die on the cross so that I may be forgiven for my sins! Forgive me and our country for our wickedness and please have mercy on us. Help us to turn back to you!

    Isaiah 41:10: Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.

  44. C.... R....

    With as much as I have stumbled I feel as though I am too far gone to be redeemed. I was a devout follower as a teen and at times I look in the mirror and wonder if I am the same guy that was once that kind faith filled kid, now a shell of a person torn by anger from my abusive childhood, having turned to satanic worship and black magic, been crippled from a car wreck, fighting a terminal illness with my pancreas, and I long to have that peace I had as a teenager. It was a rough rough upbringing with some decent moments and a lot of faith thrown in with it and now I long to be that way again, I just feel too far gone and wonder if I can ever be redeemed again. Please pray for me

  45. S.... R....

    ARE YOU SERIOUS? GROW UP MAN, SOME SLIP YOU THE PETER AND YOUR JUST PIST OFF. THIS IS A BATTLE FOR YOU SOUL. GET WITH IT MAN. AND LET GOD DEAL WITH THE CHRISTION, DON'T WORRY THERE ARE GONNA GET WHATS COMMING TO THEM

  46. D.... P....

    Do not take words or the ability to speak lightly, for in them you may give life or take it!

  47. D.... P....

    That first quote, though may be true however keep in mind not all are as strong as jesus or the apostles, I think does more damage to ones faith in not only God but theirselves and therefore may or may not cause one to give up trying. REMEMBER THAT ONLY ONE IS WORTHY!

  48. M.... 1....

    I came here after knew that tyler joseph was a member of dc talk... I heard this song many years ago.. and this reminds me how life is up and down. Many times we feel stumble, seems no way out... feeling desperately... but it does not mean end of life.. put your hope in God

  49. j.... s....

    Just lost my father to brain cancer last week.... This album has been my go to, to keep me straight and keeping on the right path. Love you dad , I love your soul for showing me this side of life I never would've known

  50. S.... E....

    Love ❤️

  51. C.... K....

    The single greatest cause of Atheism in the world is because of Sinners who love their sin and who hate God without cause and because sinners are not willing to leave their darling sins and their lust and their pornography and their love for money and materialism and premarital sex!

  52. C.... K....

    The song is about me! May God have mercy on my soul...

  53. N.... W....

    This song sounds eerily similar to “Right Here Waiting” by Richard Marx.

  54. M.... C....

    It makes me think about life,about the struggles ive been through and how i stumble but get up again and never give up.

  55. J.... W....

    Very powerful song!  While pulling myself up after some of the most difficult times of my life as a Christian, I am finding that My Savior and My Heavenly Father is with me! Even when I stumble and fall .................. People not so much!

  56. I.... ....

    This band needs to follow what the guy at the beginning of the song said. I met this band in a restaurant in Nashville, TN, and they we're nice at all. I'm an atheist (not because of them), but they sure didn't help to change my mind about Christians.

  57. C.... K....

    I need to repent 😫

  58. C.... L....

    Does anyone else think the voice in the beginning sounds like George Carlin?

  59. G.... i....

    Beautiful song. Mann it's 2019 now.. stay strong in the Lord brothers.

  60. B.... F....

    I have stumbled and fallen and His love was strong in my weakness and His grace brought me back crawling and He picked me up stronger than i was before i fell. If we do not fall we will not know how weak we qre and it is how he helps to become holy. We have to fall so hatd we can only get up with His help

  61. J.... M....

    Such an awesome song

    J.... M....

    Jason Marcum Same thoughts!

  62. B.... T....

    The. Song.what. stuball? What fall. We are not. Good. For this world its so bad any more. Just step out your door. Bang. Your dead. Oh pray for. Us all.

  63. C.... 1....

    Are vudu churches legal nowadays? Cause I found out Im adopted & my fake parents are into vudu sht & Id rather blare out micheal w.smith songs. LOL

  64. B.... T....

    This. Song. Is. So true .what.if .do.stumble. And fall

  65. P.... T....

    I sure miss this DC Talk

  66. T.... ....

    This album has always been a instant rock, Lords peace, Grace, security, shot to ur heart,,,,praise the Lord, & God bless faith based bands

  67. T.... ....

    Sad that 313 folk might be lost

  68. A.... L....

    I left the church years ago with a broken heart after an assault. I failed at being a good Christian and I was blamed for my reaction to what happened; I was still processing it. I still am. I have 3 girls now and I found my self listening to this song from my Christian childhood. "Will the love continue when my walk becomes a crawl?" It always pulls at my heart now because of how abandoned I felt when the incident happened. And now I fear failing as a parent to my babies, my girls. I'm scared I won't be able to protect them. This song exposes real human insecurities and fears that many people can connect with. The wonder if you will still be loved when bad things happen.

  69. 8.... c....

    Love the song, but will always disagree with the general claim about a society that contemplates the universe like we Christians do. Our job isn't to convert the planet, no matter what anyone says to me. My job is to sow the seed of love, the watering of that seed isn't in my control. However I pray God bless all of those that disagree with me and the man that spoke in the beginning.

  70. L.... A....

    I wish someone these days was brave enough to sing a song like this?

  71. C.... D....

    Christian walk? What is that? Not to love my life which my God died for? Act like God and allow Cain's to rule? Jesus died for me, so that I live. I am least bothered of the world. I just don't want Cain's on my road.
    Each live their lives. Get God's love to love. Ask God's help for abnormals to have their boundaries.
    All live. God himself did not violate man's choice to choose bad, who is a normal human being. We are hurt if idiots violate. But what can we do just depend on judgement. That's the coolest.

  72. J.... D....

    Really like this song...God is great

  73. O.... J....

    i love your music

  74. Y.... G....

    I may slip. Im not perfect he is. what the all mighty has blessed me with cant and wont be shacken will not stumble or fall for I am the child of a Great Father and A Father to all he is. What i feel and think has nothing to do with the DEVINE True LOVE OF A GREAT GOD THE SAME ONE WHO GIVES US BREATH OF LIFE LIVES IN ME AND GAVE ME A STRENGTH THAT I PRAYED FOR TIRED OF THE PAIN. I AM REDEEMED✊✊✊☝👑💟💒

  75. K.... V....

    Thank You Lord for Your Love, Your Grace, Your Mercy, Your Forgiveness!

  76. R.... D....

    When will I fall and stumble upon the cross .........a commitment that I may wake up to Mercy and fall in love with forgiveness and stumble upon grace.........my commitment is merely words but ask my LORD when will it become of my heart........when will my words line up with my heart that I might say cross my heart hope to die...

  77. C.... P....

    Love this song

  78. J.... I....

    Beautiful lyrics - powerful and speaks straight to the heart. Life isn't a destination, but a journey. This song.... Thank you Jesus for your grace and forgiveness!

    You never turn in the heat of it all
    What if I stumble, what if I fall?
    You are my comfort, and my God
    Is this one for the people, is this one for the Lord?

    i am day

  81. J.... D....

    Love this song...

  82. D.... P....

    Good for you. Kinda same story here but i was on every drug known to man just about. Im getting to where im going. Its been 7 years since i was last in prison but ive since changed alot thanx to God. A person can walk only so far into the rabbit hole but after a certain point you just get dragged in . Hold on for dear llife, pray to God and repent, and if its his will bestow grace apon you and he will reach down and grab you and PULL you back out against the power we had no control over. God is a merciful God indeed!! May he live forever!!

  83. M.... ....

    God is dead but I enjoy this still

    M.... ....

    God is not dead but you are entitled to your opinion...even if it's wrong

  84. D.... S....

    Great song ! What if I stumble.

  85. A.... B....

    This is so true. Everyone has been hurt by a Christian. But our relationship with Christ has to be stronger than our relationship with other Christians

  86. C.... F....

    Looking at all these comments, really got to me. So many people go through life and then forget who loves them most no matter what. I will continue to keep praying for each and every one you. You are loved by The Maker. Don't ever forget that. Jeremiah 29:11 "For I know the plans that I have for you. Plans to prosper you and not to harm you. Plans to give you HOPE AND A FUTURE." That's my favorite verse. Don't think that the Bible is another fairytale or another dusty book on the shelf, because it was meant for us and we need to learn from what God has given us. #PrayHard😇😇😇😇😇😇

  87. M.... G....
