Tenth Avenue North

Tenth Avenue North- By Your Side
Why are you striving these days
Why are you trying to earn grace
Why are you crying
Let me lift up your face
Just don't turn away

Why are you looking for love
Why are you still searching as if I'm not enough
To where will you go child
Tell me where will you run
To where will you run

And I'll be by your side
Wherever you fall
In the dead of night
Whenever you call
And please don't fight
These hands that are holding you
My hands are holding you

Look at these hands and my side
They swallowed the grave on that night
When I drank the world's sin
So I could carry you in
And give you life
I want to give you life

(Chorus 2x)

Cause I, I love you
I want you to know
That I, I love you
I'll never let you go

(Chorus 2x)


Alrighty... so I've heard this song a million times and the first time I heard it, it really affected me, but then I kind of blew it off.... but recently I've listened to it and truly realized the impact of the words.

God is always there. Even when we can't feel him. Why are we looking for love anywhere else except Him? Where else do we have to go besides straight to him? Are we so self absorbed that we can't remember that we are never alone?

Such powerful words. I love Jesus.
