presence

Has a song ever caught your attention when you weren't paying attention at all (background music a.k.a. radio), and the song stuck out to you so much... so you anxiously wait for the song to end so the radio announcer/DJ would say the title after the song... and he never says it!?

I waited a whole week for the station to play this song again, so I could log into their Last 15 Songs list... and just the night I wanted to hear it, I did! Rejoice!

Hope it touches your heart just as much as it did mine.

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
