10.the other side
.
i stood on the edge of 8 years old
on a mountain top in minnesota
behind my old grade school
we'd steady our nerve and take a breath
throwing ourselves to certain death
but the kings of the hill must fight to keep their rule
.
i went back there a couple years ago
that mountain was twenty feet tall
.
skip to the scene where i was sixteen
taking my turn on the tilt-a-whirl
holding the hand of a brown eyed girl
i thought would be the one
when the ride got rough we were torn apart
the spinning stopped like a broken heart
i blinked and she was gone
.
i felt shipwrecked at the edge of the world
but love came and found me again
.
on the other side, where it's easier to see the way
his hand provides just in time to save the day
and i realize the mountains i was scared to climb
aren't as big as i thought they were
when i'm on the other side
.
skip to the scene where i'm on my knees
holding on 'til the morning light
trying to trust when the money's tight
in a hope i can't explain
crossword puzzles in the waiting room
praying for an answer soon
to fill in all the blanks
.
but i've been here many times before
and love's always carried me through
.
to the other side, where it's easier to see the way
his hand provides just in time to save the day
and i realize the mountains i was scared to climb
aren't as big as i thought they were
when i'm on the other side
.
how many times am i destined to prove
i can't do this all on my own
but there is freedom in failing and finding his mercy
and standing in front of his throne
i'm not as big as i thought i was
.
so i won't be afraid
no matter what the trouble is i see today
the maker of the mountains, he will make a way
to lead me through the darkness to the other side…
.
where it's easier to see the way
his hand provides just in time to save the day
and i realize the mountains i was scared to climb
aren't as big as i thought they were
when i'm on the other side
.
every chapter that we've been through
has taught me to rely on you
jesus teach me that again
