By Your Side

Do you ever feel far away from God?  
 
I have a span of a fews days or weeks when I feel really close to God, but then I usually get distracted by the things in my life.  God takes the back row when I become busy with my homework and friends.  Thankfully, God is always patiently waiting for me to return to him.  And then God forgives me for forgetting him!  

James 4:8a states, "Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you."  The ONE and only true God loves you soo much and wants to be in constance communication with you.  Draw near to our great God, the creator of the universe, and he will draw near to you over and over again. 



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
