The Other Side-Jason Gray

10.The Other Side . I stood on the edge of 8 years old On a mountain top in Minnesota Behind my old grade school We'd steady our nerve and take a breath Throwing ourselves to certain death But the kings of the hill must fight to keep their rule . I went back there a couple years ago That mountain was twenty feet tall . Skip to the scene where I was sixteen Taking my turn on the tilt-a-whirl Holding the hand of a brown eyed girl I thought would be the one When the ride got rough we were torn apart The spinning stopped like a broken heart I blinked and she was gone . I felt shipwrecked at the edge of the world But love came and found me again . On the other side, where it's easier to see the way His hand provides just in time to save the day And I realize the mountains I was scared to climb Aren't as big as I thought they were When I'm on the other side . Skip to the scene where I'm on my knees Holding on 'til the morning light Trying to trust when the money's tight In a hope I can't explain Crossword puzzles in the waiting room Praying for an answer soon To fill in all the blanks . But I've been here many times before And love's always carried me through . To the other side, where it's easier to see the way His hand provides just in time to save the day And I realize the mountains I was scared to climb Aren't as big as I thought they were When I'm on the other side . How many times am I destined to prove I can't do this all on my own But there is freedom in failing and finding his mercy And standing in front of his throne I'm not as big as I thought I was . So I won't be afraid No matter what the trouble is I see today The maker of the mountains, He will make a way To lead me through the darkness to the other side… . Where it's easier to see the way His hand provides just in time to save the day And I realize the mountains I was scared to climb Aren't as big as I thought they were When I'm on the other side . Every chapter that we've been through Has taught me to rely on you Jesus teach me that again
