Alright guys, anything that allows the Holy Spirit to penetrate our spirit & speak to move us in good ways is good. Best to build each other up, not break each other down. @41381jls - Amen, for we all are 2nd.

He said nothing at all about "false religions" in this song. I'm 20 years old and a highly spiritual Christian. I draw some of my views from other religions, such as Hindu, Buddhism, and Taoism. But I don't think that makes me not a Christian and I definitely don't think it's bad. I think the most important thing in the world is your own HEART. Love is the passageway to The Holy Spirit. I Love my family and I Love God with all my heart and I always will. AMEN!
@DUBDUBWAH I think we, as Christians, could learn many things from other peoples and religions. Today I read an interesting view at the good things in Islam. Their love and care for each is often greater than our. But when that is said, I really hope you are right with the Lord and not just making your own god by picking the nice and comfortable things out. I think you can find all you need from the bible and Jesus. God's bless! :)
Just goes to show you how fallen and human each of us are. Christians bickering with each other over the meaning of this song and even using profanity in their posts. Classy. Guys the meaning of this song is so simple and so true. Don't over analyze and make it into something it's not. Remember, You Are Second.
I heard this song and I didn't even know he was a Christian singer. I have my own interpretation of what these words mean to me, and they're in now way religious since I'm agnostic.
at the end of the day We will all be judged he who hath sin cast the first stone... im shocked 2kno that we r the most divided ppl if we all beileve why do we knocked each other down i mean really Im stopping by 2dwell in his presence thru an amazing song and its amazing how ppl(christians) knock each other Let us love one another if we really want 2b in unison we need 2remember we are all sinners no matter how we feel its God's Grace thats saved us and all are welcome in..we dont have a say
Really disagreeing in the comments on what this man is trying to get across as a message. This is the reason those that don't know and look in see this and say, FING RELIGION. Am I to blunt? get over it, am I the best Christian, Probably not at this moment but I do know of his truth and maybe one day when the church is restored we can all finally think as one. Its the little thing like the comments that piss me off. I Love the song and the gift God has given him.... end of story!
@shadow9235 and how was I pointing that out????? Fucking read and don't let religion blind you, have a relationship instead. If you read my last sentence YOU would see that I was boasting in the GIFT God has given him. Now I have to deal with Retarded so called Christians...great!
@40rtyp I'm not being "blinded" by religion and I DO have a relationship with Jesus. I'm not even trying to fight, what's the problem? I wasn't talking about the last sentence either. I read it all pretty clearly. I'm talking about where you said "am I the best Christian, Probably not at this moment" No one is the best Christian. We're all equal in God's eyes. So please, don't start cussing me out over something that was completely unprovoked. Also, don't be judgmental of me. I don't know you.
I have to say, I don't feel this song has anything to do with false religions as the description says. And, @SpeakwithGod, why are you speaking in the description as though you are God (i.e. "What Shawn is trying to say is that, life is throwing false religions at him and all of this is pulling him further and further away from me.")? Please don't do that. You are not God and cannot speak for him in this way. Please seriously consider removing those parts from the video description. Thanks
It's heartbreaking to see man's condition. It pulls on the soul. It's very dark. We still have to participate in it, being human, also. But, we don't want to cross that line over into willful sin practice, for that blasphemes the good workings of the Holy Spirit in our spiritual lives. Quenching & greiving the Holy Spirit stunts our spiritual maturity, and once we've tasted the powers of the world to come, and the sweet mercies and deep compassion of God, we don't ever want to fall away.
I think he's saying Gravity is reality aka "The worlds" way of doing things and he doesn't want to let it blind him from God's word, God's Love, and God's truth. It's so easy to get caught up in the Worlds way of living that you lose sight of Gods way of living. It's like God is at the top of the mountain(heaven) and your climbing gear(your faith) is whats going to get you to God but, Reality(Gravity) pulls at you causing you to fall away from God and that's exactly what he doesn't want to do.
I Love Shawn Mcdonalddd ♥ . && Im 14 Years Old . & I Remember When My PPaster Saidd // " Shody Knows Her kLove" That Made Me So Good! Untill I Stopped Going .. & i Got So Separated From God ): So Please Pray 4 Me . && EXPESIALLY With The " Having Feeling For Other Girls " !! i DONT LIKE THAT FEELING!! PLEASE PRAY 4 ME GUYS !! JESUSSSSS♥
I need saved! And prayed for! Please people, I found my father passed away at age 18 in 2006.. My older brother got shot and killed by a gang member in 2007.. my life has been rough every since and am not sure what to do.. every1 goes thru their own problems I know.. please people.. any advice will be taken to heart .. seeing a counselor is difficult for me, and i dont get to church often.. im trying! I am open to suggestions, if no hassle u may email me at.. okesamiller22@gmail.com
I saw Shawn McDonald at Awaken youth rally and got to hear him speak, and sing this song. Amazing experiance, listening to a man with faith like this :)
"What Shawn is trying to say is that, life is throwing false religions at him and all of this is pulling him further and further away from me." I'm guessing you're God?
I have always loved this song... soooo good! I dont know why but when its a gloomy rainy day I love to listen to this in my car while I drive. haha not sure why the two go hand in hand for me but meh...
I'm diggin' this track and this artist. I didn't know he was a contemporary gospel artist. So now.....I find this CD for my collection. LOL...Thanks for posting.
I don't think that Shawn is talking about false religions only. I think he is singing that the gravity is just the worldly things getting to him and keeping him further away from God. But that's just my interpretation. Amazing song, God is so good! God Bless you all.
No Matter Whhat Yur Past Histroy Is, Or What The Sins Are That You've Done, God Forgive's You For Everything Regardless Of His Charges . Apparently He Is Turning To God & Gods Helping Him .
I love this song so much and I love Shawn McDonald. Gravity, Take My Hand and Clarity are my favourite songs of his so far. Brilliant song, it puts me in a state of mind that i can't describe...

come on people why is everyone judging this dude and saying hes' claiming himself as god? just maybe the dude wasn't thinkin at the time? or maybe he didn't even notice he put that??? damn hypocrite christians pointing the finger at a typo u wouldnt even be jammin these song on here if he didnt upload it
Has anyone else read in the comments or info box? click on read more, did this PERSON just refer to themselves as being God? I'm confused, I hope not. Either way, it's a beautiful song, just like all his others.
@friedolayz I'm sorry to hear that. I don't remember commenting to this video, and I don't know what he's been saying, I hope you weren't offend by me though.
i agree with aquaprincess. He is talking about the sin that is in the world and that is it pulling/separating him from God. I love all of his songs. GO SHAWN!!!
Im sorry but thats not what I get from the words----he is saying gravity is SIN and when you get close in prayer to jesus--sin seperates that feeling of closeness and security of soul that your walking in his will. Shawn----has felony charges from past drug convictions--but still calls out to the lord--powerful. Jesus is blessing him
Hes telling you to speak with God, by saying: Speak with God, not titling him self as God, saying speak with God... in first person. (In response to JJpickupyourcross)
His songs mirror all the things Christ followers go through and he sings them with such feeling and makes me glad someone could write a song and sing about what I'm thinking so well....thanks Shawn.
