about

This is another one of those songs that can be taken 1 of 2 ways: Either a "Thank You" to God for always being there, or a "Thank You" to my wife for always being there. Either way, it's worth celebrating that I have someone who's always there when I need them!

Several years ago, in the days leading up to my wedding, one of my single friends came up to me and asked, "How do you know that she's THE ONE?" I don't exactly remember my response at the time, but after more than 15 years of marriage I have the answer: When you can't picture yourself going through life without her, then SHE'S THE ONE. The same can be said for my relationship with God. I can't picture myself ever being totally separated from him. What's even better is: neither can he. He, most definitely, is THE ONE.

lyrics

I can't walk without you
I can't talk without you
I can't live without you
by my side.
Life gets unbearable
and the pain is terrible.
But I know there's hope with you
By my side.

Chorus: I'm glad I won't go
through life alone,
Not with you standing by.
Do I deserve such a
Blessing for my soul?
I'm so glad you're by my side.

Life is everlasting
When this earth is passing.
Forever you will be
By my side.
I've got no more worries.
There's no need to hurry,
Because I know I have you
By my side.

Chorus

Bridge: (By my side) You leave no room for mistakes.
(By my side) You give instead of take.
You care for me more than I care for myself.
You're with me every move I make.

Chorus
