With You By My Side
===================
w:m: David Haas, 1998
Choral arr.: David Haas & Kate Cuddy

[Verse 1]
When I'm feeling all alone,
and I'm far away from home,
God, I need you to hear me.
When my friends all turn away,
then I ache to hear you say
that you are with me through it all.

[Refrain]
You are the light,
you're the song that I'm singing;
whom should I fear when you are with me?
For you are my God,
and with you there is nothing I can't do
with you by my side.

[Verse 2]
When I feel all sick inside,
with no safe place to hide,
God, I need you to listen.
When it seems I can't go on,
then I long to hear the song
reminding me you are my friend.

[Refrain]

[Interlude]

[Verse 3]
And as I go through my life,
I will keep you in my sight,
to walk with me and be my strength.
God, I know your plan for me:
to help all those in need.
To you alone I give my life!

[Refrain]

[Coda]
with you by my side,
with you by my side,
with you by my side,
with you by my side.
You are the light,
you're the song that I'm singing.
