You Are On Our Side Lyrics - Waking Up - Bethany Dillon

The orphan clings to Your hand 

Singing the song of how he was found 

The widow rejoices 

For her oppressors are silenced now 

You sit at the table with the wounded and the poor 

You laugh and share stories with the thief and the whore 

When You could just be silent and leave us here to die 

Still, You sent Your Son for us 

You are on our side 

The runaway falls at Your feet 

You are what he has searched for 

The rich man is broken 

When he stands beneath a sky full of stars 

You sit at the table with the wounded and the poor 

You laugh and share stories with the thief and the whore 

When You could just be silent and leave us here to die 

Still, You sent Your Son for us 

You are on our side 

You sit at the table with the wounded and the poor 

You laugh and share stories with the thief and the whore 

When You could just be silent and leave us here to die 

Still, You sent Your Son for us 

You are on our side 

Still, You sent Your Son for us 

You are on our side
