You Are With Me

I wrote this song while I was in Subic recently. This song is about God's presence and faithfulness in our lives despite our empty promises to Him. There are times when we really want to go back into His loving open arms but we simply choose to walk our way instead. When we face troubles and trials, we stumble and fall, but God was there each time to pick us up. My response is found in Psalms 25:5 "Guide me in your truth and teach me, for you are my God my Savior, and my hope is in you all day long."

--------------------------------------------------

Verse 1:
Many times I’ve tried that my life in you abide
Yet time and time again I’ve fallen from Your side.
Many times I’ve wished how this life I could cherish
And run the race until the very finish…

Chorus:
O Lord, be with me ‘til the very end of days.
You were with me from the start…
O please guide me and teach me the way to seek Your heart.
Please be with me,
Never leave me.

Verse 2:
Many times I’ve said that my life will be Christ-led
But time and time again I’ve walked my way instead.
Many times I’ve longed to come back to You in song.
Before You I confess all of my wrongs.

Bridge:
For You are my God,
You are my Savior,
And my hope is in You.
You are my God,
You are my Savior,
You are with me - All the day long!

Ending:
You are with me.
Always with me.
