By Your Side

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CdjRmM0Q0qs&feature=related

My dear sweet friend,

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

Did you hear Him? He is holding you. Just as Christ spread out those arms thousands of years ago to die for you, He is spreading them out to hold you.

God loves you. He loves you so much that He drank the world's sin and swallowed the grave so He could give you life.

I plead with you my dear young friend, accept God's love and let Him in. Give you life to Him because God will never let go.
