American Idol finalist and Contemporary Christian superstar Mandisa has released He Is With You, the second single off her sophomore non-holiday release, Freedom.
Written by Ronnie Freeman, who penned God Speaking, Mandisa’s second single off True Beauty, He Is With You is one of Mandisa’s personal favorites on the album. “No matter if you are a man or a woman or black or white or young or old,” Mandisa says, “God is with you and God loves you and God will never leave you and He will never forsake you.” The fact that He Is With You hits every single situation anyone could imagine will hopefully find people turning to God – and this song – for comfort in times of difficulty.
Don’t take my word for it – give Mandisa’s He Is With You a good listen. I think you’ll agree it’s a great song. Click after the jump to read the lyrics to Mandisa’s He Is With You. If you like what you hear, please go out and buy Freedom. It’ll be one of your favorite CDs for 2009, I promise! :)
[audio:He Is With You.mp3]HE IS WITH YOU
There’s a time to live
And a time to die
There’s a time to laugh
And a time to cry
There’s a time for war
And a time for peace
There’s a hand to hold
In the worst of these
He is with you when your faith is dead
And you can’t even get out of bed
Or your husband doesn’t kiss you anymore
He is with you when your baby’s gone
And your house is still,
And your heart’s a stone
Cryin’ God, what’d You do that for
He is with you
There’s a time for yes
And a time for no
There’s a time to be angry
And a time to let it go
There is a time to run
And a time to face it
There is love to see you
Through all of this
He is with you in the conference room
When the world is coming down on you
And your wife and kids don’t know you anymore
He is with you in the ICU
When the doctors don’t know what to do
And it scares you to the core
He is with you
We may weep for a time
But joy will come in the morning
The morning light
He is with you when your kids are grown
When there’s too much space
And you feel alone
And you’re worried if you
got it right or wrong
Yes He is with you
when you’ve given up on ever finding your true love
Someone who feels like home
He is with you
When nothing else is left
And you take your final breath
He is with you
