By My Side

[Verse 1] When my chest feels heavy And my words fall down You sit with me softly You don’t make a sound You listen and stay near You try to understand Then a Bible text comes Right from your hand [Pre-Chorus] And I remember What Jehovah says A little light comes in Through the hardest days [Chorus] They have become A source of great comfort to me (Comfort to me) They have become A source of great comfort to me By my side, I can breathe [Verse 2] Sometimes all I need is Someone on the floor A friend with a snack tray Knocking at the door A small kind gesture A prayer shared low And the sad dark feeling Starts to let go [Pre-Chorus] If you don’t know What I need today I’ll open my heart And I’ll tell you straight [Chorus] They have become A source of great comfort to me (Comfort to me) They have become A source of great comfort to me By my side, I can breathe [Bridge] One or two elders I can call in peace Or a mature sister Who will sit with me And even in silence Love can reach so far Jehovah sends mercy Right where we are [Final Chorus] They have become A source of great comfort to me (Comfort to me) They have become A source of great comfort to me By my side, I can breathe They have become A source of great comfort to me (Comfort to me) They have become A source of great comfort to me And I’m not alone tonight
