"By Your Side" lyrics - TENTH AVENUE NORTH

TENTH AVENUE NORTH
"By Your Side"
(Mike Donehey / Jason Ingram / Phillip LaRue)

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

[Chorus:]
'Cause 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 at 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:]
'Cause 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
[2x]

[Bridge:]
'Cause I, I love you
I want you to know
That I, yeah I'll love you
I'll never let you go, no, no

[Chorus:]
'Cause 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
[2x]
