Cover art for By Your Side lyrics by Tenth Avenue North

If they ever make a movie based on the novel Redeeming Love by Francine Rivers, this HAS TO BE one of the songs on the soundtrack. If you've read it, you will understand. It describes the relationship between Angel and Hosea extremely well, in my opinion. And the Angel/Hosea relationship resembles our relationship as sinners with a God who wants only to rescue us. It is a beautiful song, as well. I love Tenth Avenue North. They write with such honesty and emotion.
