When I'm With You
NewSong Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Well, it's a brand new day and already this world's closing in
The telephone rings and here I go again
And I need You here to bring some rest to my heart
I whisper Your name and Lord right there You are

When I'm with You this world stops turning
One look in Your eyes and my heart stops hurting
I love the way that You know just what to do with me
When I'm with You

We've all had those days when nothing would work out right
Those up and down days, returning to sleep last night
And we need You here to bring some rest to our heart
We whisper Your name and Lord right here You are

When I'm with You this world stops turning
One look in Your eyes and my heart stops hurting
I love the way that You know just what to do with me
When I'm with You

One day the sun and the moon will stop shining
And every star is gonna fall from heaven
But on that day I won't be afraid
I know You'll be there beside me

When I'm with You this world stops turning
One look in Your eyes and my heart stops hurting
I love the way that You know just what to do with me
When I'm with You

This world stops turning
One look in Your eyes and my heart stops hurting
I love the way that You know just what to do with me
When I'm with You, yeah

When I'm with You
(I love the way just what You do with me)




Baby, baby, baby, oh, no, no
No, no, no, no, no, no, no

Line by Line Meaning

Well, it's a brand new day and already this world's closing in
Every day feels like a struggle and the world seems to be conspiring against me


The telephone rings and here I go again
Just as I'm feeling overwhelmed, something else demands my attention


And I need You here to bring some rest to my heart
In the midst of chaos, I yearn for peace and comfort that can only come from You


I whisper Your name and Lord right there You are
As soon as I turn to You, You are there to provide the solace I need


When I'm with You this world stops turning
Being in Your presence makes everything else fade away


One look in Your eyes and my heart stops hurting
The love and compassion in Your eyes take away all my pain and sorrow


I love the way that You know just what to do with me
You have a way of understanding and caring for me that no one else can replicate


We've all had those days when nothing would work out right
We all face moments when everything seems to be going wrong


Those up and down days, returning to sleep last night
Those moments often follow us into our sleep, causing unrest


One day the sun and the moon will stop shining
In the grand scheme of things, nothing in this world is eternal


And every star is gonna fall from heaven
Even the things we once considered everlasting will eventually disappear


But on that day I won't be afraid
Despite the inevitable end of all things, I am not afraid because You will be with me


I know You'll be there beside me
You have promised to never leave my side, even in the darkest of days
