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?

Chorus:

Cause I’ll be by your side wherever you fall

In the dead of night whenever you call

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

And I want you to know

That I, I’ll love you
