Behind The Song: Hawk Nelson Shares The Heart Behind Their Single “Parachute”
This week’s featured song story comes to us from Hawk Nelson. We’re excited to share with you the story behind their single “Parachute.”
“I’m so pumped because we have a new single out. It’s called ‘Parachute’ and it’s one of my favorite songs we’ve ever done because it deals with vulnerability.I think sometimes as Christians we feel like we’re supposed to have all the answers for everything and we feel like everyone else has it figured out, but we don’t. This song of ours gets to the core of our relationship with Jesus.That He’s in our lives because we need Him and only He can rescue us from the situations in our lives that we need rescuing from. Only He can bring us the salvation and the hope and the peace that we need. We don’t have all the answers and that’s why we need Jesus.” – Jon Steingard (Hawk Nelson)

“Parachute” Lyrics
The weight of my mistakes
My regrets and all my shame
Like gravity, it’s pulling me
The waves keep crashing in
Things I’ve done and who I’ve been
The gravity is pulling me
I am falling
Will You catch me
God I need you
To be my rescue
I am broken
Will You fix me
God I need you
To be my rescue
Be my parachute
The fear that I’m alone
Around my neck, like a stone
And gravity, it’s pulling me
I’ve heard that You are good
And You are strong
And if I could, I would believe
Help me to believe
CHORUS
I know I need You
To save me
‘Cause no one beside You
Can save me now
Can save me now
CHORUS
