"By Your Side"Why are you striving these daysWhy are you trying to earn graceWhy are you cryingLet me

lift up your faceJust don't turn away

Why are you looking for loveWhy are you still searchingAs if I'm not enoughTo where will you go

childTell me where will you runTo where will you run

Cause I'll be by your side Wherever you fallIn the dead of night

Whenever you callAnd please don't fight These hands that are holding youMy hands are holding

you

Look at these hands at my sideThey swallowed the grave on that nightWhen I drank the world's sinSo I

could carry you inAnd give you life I want to give you life

And I'll be by your side Wherever you fallIn the dead of night

Whenever you callAnd please don't fight These hands that are holding youMy hands are holding

you

Here at my side Wherever you fallIn the dead of night

Whenever you callAnd please don't fight These hands that are holding youMy hands are holding

you

'Cause I, I love youI want you to knowThat I, yeah I'll love youI'll never let you go, no, no

And I'll be by your side Wherever you fallIn the dead of night

Whenever you callAnd please don't fight These hands that are holding youMy hands are holding

you

Here at my side Wherever you fallIn the dead of night

Whenever you callAnd please don't fight These hands that are holding youMy hands are holding

you

God’s Plan For Israel*That they would be a light to the Gentiles.” -How can God’s people be a light when they themselves reject Him? -Since majority have rejected Him, does that mean God has failed to keep His promise to Israel?*Not all are “True Israel”*Many sought righteousness on their own, apart from faith*He gave them over to their stubbornness.

God’s Sovereignty & Our Choice*God sometimes hardens hearts: -He allows people to go their own way*Are they beyond recovery? -And if the people turn from their unbelief, they will be grafted in again*How about you: -There was a time when you didn’t know Jesus -You chose (by faith) to receive His grace

Extending His Mercy
