Helpful Songs during the Tough Times

So I still have some rough days, where I get super depressed and then I fall into Tony's arms and cry.. I know that is normal.

I know that God is with me and that helps. There are some songs that have really put things into perspective for me. And Definitely helped me through it.

1. East to West- Casting Crowns
2. Savior Please- Josh Wilson
3. By Your Side- Tenth Avenue North
4. Never Let Go- DCB (this is my fav)
5. While I'm waiting- John Waller


The Lyrics
1. East to West- Casting Crowns
Here I am Lord and I'm drowning In your sea of forgetfulness The chains of yesterday surround me I yearn for peace and rest I don't want to end up where you found me And it echoes in my mind Keeps me awake tonight I know you've cast my sins as far As the East is from the West And I stand before you now As though I've never sinned but today I feel like I'm just one mistake away From you leaving me this way Jesus can you show me Just how far the East is from the West Cause I can't bear to see the man I've been Come rising up in me again In the arms of your mercy I find rest Cause you know just how far the East is from the West From one scar[r]ed hand to the other I start the day the war begins Endless reminding of my sin Time and time again Your [T]ruth is drowned out by the storm I'm in Today I feel like I'm just one mistake away From you leaving me this way Jesus can you show me Just how far the East is from the West Cause I can't bear to see the man I've been Come rising up in me again In the arms of your mercy I find rest Cause you know just how far the East is from the West From one scar[r]ed hand to the other I know you've washed me white Turned my darkness into light I need your peace to get me through To get me through this night I can't live by what I feel But by the truth your word reveals I'm not holding on to you But your holding on to me Your holding on to me Jesus, you know just how far The East is from the West I don't have to see the man I've been Come rising up in me again In the arms of your mercy I find rest (The arms of your mercy I find rest) Cause you know just how far the East is from the West From one scar[r]ed hand to the other(x2) (Just how far, the East is from the West) (x3) From one scarred hand to the other
2. Savior Please
Savior, please take my handI work so hard, I live so fastThis life begins, and then it endsAnd I do the best that I can, but I don't know how long I'll lastI try to be so toughBut I'm just not strong enoughI can't do this alone, God I need You to hold on to meI try to be good enoughBut I'm nothing without Your loveSavior, please keep saving meSavior, please help me standI fall so hard, I fade so fastWill You begin right where I endAnd be the God of all I am because You're all I haveHallelujahEverything You are to meIs everything I'll ever needAnd I am learning to believeThat I don't have to prove a thing'Cause You're the one who's saving me
3. By Your Side- Tenth Avenue North
Why are you striving these daysWhy are you trying to earn graceWhy are you cryingLet me lift up your faceJust don't turn awayWhy are you looking for loveWhy are you still searching as if I'm not enoughTo where will you go childTell me where will you runTo where will you runAnd I'll be by your sideWherever you fallIn the dead of nightWhenever you callAnd please don't fightThese hands that are holding youMy hands are holding youLook at these hands and my sideThey swallowed the grave on that nightWhen I drank the world's sinSo I could carry you inAnd give you lifeI want to give you life(Chorus 2x)Cause I, I love youI want you to knowThat I, I love youI'll never let you go(Chorus 2x)
