By Your Side

This song has been on repeat for me for the past week. It's by Tenth Avenue North and serves as a reminder for me that no matter what is going on, I'm not the one in control.

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

This month's favorite song

Is it wrong that this is my kids favorite song right now?

Song for the day

I love music. I like the way it makes me experience emotions that I may not be inclined to share openly.

That said, there are some songs that make me cry like a big baby. I have been impacted more by these type songs since I've had kids.

Case in point...this little jem came on while I was driving home from work last night. I could tell that the people in the cars next to me were concerned so I tried to do that half smile to let them know I'm just a freak.

Enjoy!
