By Your Side - Tenth Avenue North
I first heard this song last week on my way to church. The first few lines just grabbed my heart and echoed my thoughts and the things God has been whispering to me for many years.
New Year's Eve
Man it's been a long while since I have blogged. I have been in survival mode, fighting through, keep'n my gaze high as I can, sloughing the mud off and out of my eyes, and trusting that there was some reason for this trench. Things have been shifting in me in the last few weeks.... I am starting to dream again. I am starting to gaze through the grey and see sunshine and possibilities in the clouds! Yet, I believe it's more than mere possibilities, I believe its the edges of the reality of who and what I am. I have learned a lot. God has given me mooch-o much, that I can't hoard - hoarding kills life. So, I want to share all HE has given me and proclaim that HE DOES give life abundantly. He has created us to live... to glorify and honor our Maker. That is what I intend to do, starting now. Since you are trekking with me, you have seen my journey, my "a-ha" moments and dismal days. I have fought many years to "find" my purpose and call

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
EXCELLENT!! :) thanks!
