Jason Gray - The Other Side lyrics

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 d**h 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
