Tenth Avenue North – By Your Side Lyrics 14 years ago
You are correct--this song can be viewed from another view. For all other commentators please read carefully; MayaMoo never said that this wasn't a Christian band and did not argue with any of your views but simply stated that there could be another view. I have been a follower of Christ for 5 years and I am now a Worship leader for my church, so I look at this song through many of your same views and I know that it is about Christ. But, I often have to look at a song and think of the audience it is playing to. A song like this never says Christ, Jesus, or almost any other reference to who it is from other than the facts that only we who are studied up on His word know. For those who do not see things through our Christian worldview, things are not as black and white. Just because it said, "Look at these hands and my side they swallowed the grave on that night When I drank the world's sin So I could carry you in" doesn't mean it is clear to everyone. Before I knew Christ these lines would have said nothing to me, and I could've interpreted them any way I wanted. Remember that your view is not the only one, even if it is the right one.
