No one else can ease our pain. No one else can lift us up when we’re down. No one else but God. The song “By Your Side” by Tenth Avenue North talks about just that. It speaks of God’s faithfulness and desire to be with us even during our darkest moments.
What’s so amazing about God’s grace is that we do not have to deserve it to receive it. God gives it to us freely and fully no matter what. We do not have to earn God’s love. God loves us not because we are worthy, but because He is loving.
Tenth Avenue North is a north American contemporary Christian music band. “By Your Side” is a track from their debut album “Over and Underneath”. The song won the 2010 Annual GMA Dove Award for Song of the Year.
By Your Side
by Tenth Avenue North
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
Cause I, I love you
I want you to know
That I, I love you
I’ll never let you go
