Description

EDIT: I know I keep updating this deviation (more just retyping the artists comment)

My intention was to show that Jesus drank the worlds' sin for us (quoted from lyrics below) and gave himself up, so we may be forgiven. He isn't going to hold our sins against us, ever. He loves us, no matter what, or who we are. So I'm hoping for myself, and for others, that we can learn to forgive others just as he has forgiven us...

My tribute to Easter...and though, I normally colour Jesus' robes red, I decided to go with a light blue since it seemed to suit him more...and, I was originally going to go for the title "Am I not enough?" OR "For you, I drank the world's sin" to be similar to the songs lyrics, but decided to just stick with the songs actual title. :P HAPPY EASTER!

And ignore the sketchyness, this was a last minute picture, along with the colouring...

By Your Side
Tenth Avenue North

Why are you striving these days?
Why are you trying to earn grace?
Why are you crying?
Let me lift up your face
Just don't turn away

Why are you looking for love?
Why are you still searching?
As if I'm not enough?
To where will you go child
Tell me where will you run?
To where will you run?

I'll be by your side wherever you fall
In the dead of night whenever you call
Please don't fight these hands that are holding you
My hands are holding you

Look at these hands at my side
They swallowed the grave on that night
When I drank the world's sin
So I could carry you in
And give you life

Here at my side wherever you fall
In the dead of night whenever you call
Please don't fight these hands that are holding you
My hands are holding you

And I, I love you
And I want you to know
That I, I'll love you
I'll never let you go

I will come to you in the silence
I will rescue you from all your fear
In the shadows of the night
I will be your light
Be still and know I am near

Do not be afraid, I am with you
I have called you each by name
Come and follow me, I will bring you home
I love you and you are mine


When the darkness comes to haunt me, I find myself in the light. And whenever I am in the light, I am in His light. For in Him, I remember who I am, and remind that darkness as well.
