Tracy Nitschke - Taking You With Me Lyrics

With a shock, in the night
Life gave way, full of fright
All the things, that I knew
Became bullets and flew
Stood in shock, maybe awe
Wondering what had gone wrong
Where were you? Did you care?
That my world was stripped bare?
The air then grew colder
The night became bolder
And you came past the shadows
To stand by my side
The storm grew stronger
But we were okay
The clouds rained heavy
But you said I'd be safe
I need you with me
Please stay by my side
My Jesus my savior
Is not one to hide
He walks through the shadows
A rod in his hand
The army of darkness
Flees at his command
We still had to trudge
Through painful steep mud.
Past brambles and lions
Searching for blood
You taught me to resist them
Stand firm in the faith
Promised at the end
We'd place in this race
I need you with me
Please stay by my side
My Jesus, my savior
I've nowhere to hide
You walk through the shadows
A rod in your hand,
The army of darkness
Flees at your command
The storm would end
The memories dim
The sun would come out
And I'd forget him
The way that he loved me
The way that he cared
The way he released
All the burdens I'd bared
In shock a storm would hit me
Again and again
I'd cry for my savior
Remember my friend
Over and over
The cycle would play
Of valley and mountain
Of pain go away
I'm learning to stop it
Too slowly I think
But his patience is astounding
His love such a drink
He pours in my cup
And it tumbles over
My Jesus, my word
He's a generous pourer
I'm taking you with me
Please stay by my side
My Jesus my savior
I've nothing to hide
You walk through the shadows
A rod in your hand
The army of darkness
Flees at your command
The army of darkness
Flees at your command

With a shock, in the night
Life gave way, full of fright
All the things, that I knew
Became bullets and flew
Stood in shock, maybe awe
Wondering what had gone wrong
Where were you? Did you care?
That my world was stripped bare?
The air then grew colder
The night became bolder
And you came past the shadows
To stand by my side
The storm grew stronger
But we were okay
The clouds rained heavy
But you said I'd be safe
I need you with me
Please stay by my side
My Jesus my savior
Is not one to hide
He walks through the shadows
A rod in his hand
The army of darkness
Flees at his command
We still had to trudge
Through painful steep mud.
Past brambles and lions
Searching for blood
You taught me to resist them
Stand firm in the faith
Promised at the end
We'd place in this race
I need you with me
Please stay by my side
My Jesus, my savior
I've nowhere to hide
You walk through the shadows
A rod in your hand,
The army of darkness
Flees at your command
The storm would end
The memories dim
The sun would come out
And I'd forget him
The way that he loved me
The way that he cared
The way he released
All the burdens I'd bared
In shock a storm would hit me
Again and again

You walk through the shadows

The army of darkness
Flees at your command
The army of darkness
Flees at your command
