By Your Name

I dedicate this song to my bro, Daniel, who was such a Michael Card freak back in those days and I believe even til today.

I failed again to make the mark, lost my way once more. I tried to do it by myself like so many times before. And now again I turn to You, I'm hungry and confused.

If You leave me to myself, oh Lord, it will always be the same. It's You who'll have to hold my hand and protect me by Your name.

By now my strength's dissolved away and I feel like I've been used. I turn and find You there for me. You've been waiting all along. The open arms, the sweet relief and You whisper me a song. At times like these I ask myself, "How could I have ever strayed?" And forgotten all You've given me and lost sight of what You paid.

If You leave me to myself, oh Lord, it will always be the same. It's You who'll have to hold my hand and protect me by Your name. It's You who'll have to hold my hand and protect me by Your Name.
