Here With You
Seventh Day Slumber Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I've been drugged through strings of pain
And I've had people turn their back on me
I have been called every name
And I've felt lonliness and hunger
And I felt helpless and betrayed
And all the hurtful things you've done to me
You drove the nails through my hand
I never gave up on you
You placed the thorns on my head
But I'm right here with you
I'm here with you
Well I took the sting of torture
So you wouldn't feel the pain
Well I was nailed upon a cross for you
And child I'd do it all again
You drove the nails through my hand
I never gave up on you
You placed the thorns on my head
But I'm right here with you
I'm here with you
You drove the nails through my hand
I never gave up on you
You placed the thorns on my head
But I'm right here with you
I'm here with you

Well I've been beat and I've been laughed at
I have suffered through various forms of physical and emotional abuse
And I've been drugged through strings of pain
I have experienced a series of painful events that have been difficult to endure
And I've had people turn their back on me
I have been abandoned and rejected by those whom I trusted
I have been called every name
I have been subject to verbal abuse and have been called hurtful names
And I've felt loneliness and hunger
I have experienced feelings of isolation and physical hunger
And I felt helpless and betrayed
I have felt vulnerable and betrayed by those around me
And all the hurtful things you've done to me
I have been hurt by the actions of others
You know my love has never changed
In spite of all that I have gone through, my love remains constant
You drove the nails through my hand
I suffered physical pain and was crucified for the sake of others
I never gave up on you
Despite the suffering that I endured, I remained committed to those I was trying to help
You placed the thorns on my head
I was subject to additional physical suffering and humiliation
But I'm right here with you
Despite all that has happened, I am still present and available to help and support
I'm here with you
I am committed to standing by your side, no matter what

Why did Jesus go through all He did for you and me?LOVE. Wow. Powerful, just open your heart and listen with it and not your ears. Brings tears every time. Thank you Jesus.

How could you cuss while proclaiming Jesus's name? "Out of the same mouth come praise and cursing. My brothers, this should not be." James 3:10 Instead of cursing unbelievers, why don't we reach out to them? Everyone is an unbeliever and sinner before they are saved by grace.
