Mainstay Album: Become Who You Are Track: Away From You
Away From You Lyrics
Knowing that your heart's content Was the thing that shut their mouths Watching as you value Someone more than yourself And you taught it well Send us right away Our girl doesn't waste her breath She stands like a sage She moves but she never moves away from you Even as the tears fall The smile never leaves Wonder in the heartache That they will never see That is everything And you're watching everything around you slowly start to fade But you're holding on to love even though your heart starts to break
Song Description: "My sister-in-law went through one of the hardest things in her life this last fall when she lost her first child due to a miscarriage. During this period I learned from her, first hand, how to trust God's sovereign will. When people were angry at God for her, she merely responded with, "God is good no matter what happens to us...we may never have another child, and the truth is, we don't deserve children. We don't deserve anything from God. But He has extended unbelievable grace to us in Jesus coming to die for us. Every breath He supplies is grace." These words were spoken through tears, with a smile that showed through her brokenness, a sincere faith in the overpowering, radiant love of Jesus. That is faith. That is the kind of trust and belief in the goodness of God that makes the world turn their heads and shut their mouths." - Justin Anderson (Mainstay)
