Be by my side

You've got to be with me

Yeah you've got to be with me

Life takes twist and turn but I know you will be with me

Yesterday was hard

Today was easy

But tomorrow may be impossible

Stay with me

Be by my side and I will never be alone

Your words are like a melody

A sweet song to which I surrender

You give me courage when I am frightened

For when it is dark and difficult to see, you are my beacon 

Your love lights the way

My path no longer a challenge

For with your light I see every crack

My footing sure even when the mortar crumbles

Stay with me always

Be by my side

You've got to be with me

Yeah you've got to be with me

When night falls, I still feel your warmth

You wrap me in love

It is my nourishment and I grow

My love swells

I feel your presence 

My heart skips a beat

With excitement I run to you

You catch me with your strong arms

I rest, for my days are long as I wrestle with the mind

But you show me how to settle, how to give you my woes

I leave with you my doubts, my fears, things which cause me anxiety

You free me from my mind 

Now I dance with my heart

You have shown me your face, it is the face of love 

Because of you I have become love

Stay with me always in love

Be by my side

You've got to be with me

Yeah you've got to be with me

Sometimes I wonder what life would be like

What if you never took my hand?

What if I never listened to your song?

Would I still be the love that I am?

You love me so much that you trusted me with this gift

This gift of faith, my gift

I cherish this gift

It is my life support

With it I have discovered you in all things

I have come to understand you are all things

And so I worry less for I know you are always at my side

You keep your promise of life

I live in my faith and life comes alive

The days brighter and the nights warmer

All because of a promise

Stay with me always residing in faith

Be by my side

You've got to be with me

Yeah you've got to be with me

How beautiful my days for I now see with my heart

A vibrant rainbow now cast about my world

All is beautiful

All is remarkable

You have touched this world, graced my with beauty

To see this beauty is to discover beauty within

In your image I walk

In your likeness I talk

I am the beauty of this earth

flowers without soil, I bloom in hope 

Rescued from our my destructive thoughts I flourish 

Becoming a breathtaking garden 

You are my nourishment as you rain joy upon my fields

With spirits uplifted I bloom

My uniqueness present in each bloom

Stay with me always discovering who I am

Be by my side

You've got to be with me

Yeah you've got to be with me

Now that I have grown

Now that I have blossomed

I want others to discover your love

To discover your peace

I see their worry

I see them fret

And know they could have so much more

They still wrestle with their mind and it wins

Groom me, God, groom me that I may use the gifts You bestowed upon me to help others

Help them see with their heart Your presence in this world

Help them recognize their beauty as was Your intention

God, you have always been by my side

It is time for me to walk with another

To pick then up when they fall, to carry them when they are weary

My faith will be my guide and You love my beacon

Stay with me always that I may be strength for others

Be by my side

You've got to be with me

Yeah you've got to be with me

My pleas turn now to gratitude

My hopes into realities

You are my reality, You have shown me Your love

Love I have become, love I now offer

My fears wiped away as faith perpetuates my every action

Yesterday I wondered

Today I explore

Tomorrow I anticipate a life of love, of joy and of peace

Sing to me that beauteous melody, my heart longs to hear

My mind has tapped out leaving my heart to guide

Faith I will cherish, each step taken is taken with courage

Hope my persistence for I know with each rain there will be a magnificent bow

Love, my greatest treasure, in love I will grow; with love I will sow

Your word and Your promise

Stay with me always 

Be by me side
