Author's Note- Dedicated to AlexAlmighty. I thought about TobyMac when I recommended the singer to him.

It's a good song. Look it up on YouTube so you can hear it as you read. If you're going to look up the song is "Get Back Up" and it's by TobyMac on his album Tonight.

This is for Ninja's contest!

Disclaimer: I do not own the 39 Clues or "Get Back Up". Oh, and YouTube.

Amy's POV

I don't know why Ian's been so down lately. It isn't Isabel or Vikram. It's been two years since Isabel was put in jail and nothing has happened about her. I don't remember anything that could have upset him.

If I weren't one of his best friends, I wouldn't have noticed. He still smiles and has a good time when the clue hunters get together. He just seems to be in deep thought a lot. He always wears a troubled frown when he thinks.

I dialed his cell phone number. "Hello, Amy."

"Hey, Ian. What's going on in New York?" He had moved from London to New York after the clue hunt. It only takes about an hour to get from New York to here, and since he has a private jet, he and Natalie can take as many flights as possible.

"Nothing much. Natalie went with her friends to see a movie then go out shopping." The usual Natalie. At least she won't be listening in on the phone.

"I've noticed you have been kinda down lately."

"I'm just busy."

"Ian, don't lie. You're always busy. What's going on in your mind?"

"Nothing important. Just something I did years ago is bothering me."

"And what would that be?"

For a few seconds, silence met me on the other end. Then he took a deep breath. "In second and third grade, a friend asked me to go to church with him. My mother said I could because she could get free of me for about three hours each Sunday." I let him continue. "After hearing about how Jesus died for me, so I could have life; and after hearing of His love for me, I accepted Him as my Savior." I was happy for him inside. I have been trying to tell him of God's love, but I could never get the words out. Now, why was he so unhappy? "I went for another year with my friend until Isabel told me I couldn't go anymore. She didn't want me to get soft and for the church to "fill up my head with fictional stories," so I never went again."

But why was he so sad. He just needs to get back to church.

"You can come with me to my church, Sunday, if you want." I spoke up, hoping it would solve the problem.

"Amy, I can't." Now, I was confused. "It's been years since I've been to church."

"Start now."

"I don't think I can enter a church. I've gone so far away from Him." Ian's voice trembled for the first time. "I've stole, lied, and even killed. I've gone so far away, that He can't reach me."

"No, no." I protested softly. "You've got it all wrong. God loves-"

"God can't love me. I've crossed the line."

"Please, listen. The Lord said, "I will never leave you nor forsake you." He won't just leave you, Ian. He's never left you. John 10:28 and 29 says "And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.
My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand." You can never loose your salvation. No one can take it from you. You're still His."

There were a few seconds of silence. I spoke again, "Just ask the Lord to forgive you of what you have done. You are still His. Say a prayer and get back on track."

"Thanks, Amy. My worries will go away. Bye, Amy." He said softly, relieved.

"Bye." I said.

A few minutes later, I sent him a YouTube video of the song, "Get Back Up". I thought it related to him.

Ian's POV

Before I prayed, I listened to the song Amy sent me. It reminded me of my situation.

You turned away when I looked you in the eye,
And hesitated when I asked if you were alright,
Seems like you're fighting for you life,
But why? Oh why?

I didn't tell Amy at first. I was afraid to tell her.
Wide awake in the middle of your nightmare,
You saw it comin' but it hit you outta no where,

I knew my church days would come back, and now I feel tons of guilt.
And there's always scars
When you fall back far

I did fall far. And it hurt when I finally saw how much I had fallen.

We lose our way,
We get back up again
It's never too late to get back up again,
One day you will shine again,
You may be knocked down,
But not out forever,
Lose our way,
We get back up again,
So get up, get up,
You gonna shine again,
Never too late to get back up again,
You may be knocked down,
But not out forever

[May be knocked down but not out forever]
That was what Amy was telling me. It's not too late, it never is. I was knocked down, but I'll get back on track with God.

You're rolled out at the dawning of the day
Heart racin' as you made you little get away,
It feels like you've been runnin' all your life
But, why? Oh why?

I have been pushing this moment off. Why? Because I thought God didn't love me, but that was wrong.

So you've pulled away from the love that wou'd've been there,
You start believin' that your situation's unfair
But there's always scars,
When you fall back far

I didn't believe Amy when she said He still loved me. I did pull away, but not now.

We lose our way,
We get back up again
Never too late to get back up again,
One day, you gonna shine again,
You may be knocked down but not out forever,
Lose our way, we get back up again,
So get up, get up

Never too late to get back up again
You may be knocked down,
But not out forever,
I will be His again. I'm going to run to Him with open arms.
This is love [lose our way] callin' love callin' [get back up again]
To the broken
This is love [never too late] callin'
[may be knocked down but not out forever]
This is love [lose our way] callin' love callin' [we get back up again]
To the broken
This is love [never too late] callin'
[may be knocked down but not out forever]

This is love callin' love callin'
Out to the broken,
This is love callin'...

Love is calling. God's love is calling. I'm the one that's broken. I will be healed and loved more than ever.
