Bethany Dillon - You Are on Our Side

[dd69r]

I was totally there that night and its just as beautiful today as it was then, thank you for posting it so we could all remember that powerful night. It is good to remember the ferocious love and tender mercy He has for us.

[EllyMay997]

She's amazing. Enough said. (:

[SparkyGrL7]

I'm not even overly religious and this song brings me to tears every time I hear it

[HCOxExclusive]

This may be 4 years ago, but so thankful I found this video in 09!! So powerfully convicting! Thanks @AceTew

[moosepayo86]

Praise the Lord!. I ask for prayer to annoint my voice so that I can be used as a vessle to touch all the hearts of his children to lead them home.

[abigailteshale]

wow this is one of the songs that blessed me God bless you bethany its the true song of the love story the lord has and is showing us i love it i am one of those people who were alowed to sit beside him and be named a child his love is so amazing sing it sing it ..........................

[socks4070]

God has given her such a fantastic tallent. Oh my word i love listening to her. And her lyrics are beautiful...

[bengotagun]

big crush on this siren.

[ean151]

She sings awesome ! one of the few singers out there that sing from there heart <3

[Califacience]

6:56-6:59 she looked a little bit like her idol.

[alkigirl]

who is her idol?

[Califacience]

Well i shouldn't use the word "idol" right.

It's Jennifer Knapp

watch?v=2jOD1iApFPE

Bethany says she was her biggest influence, and the reason she started playing the guitar.

[ean151]

@alkigirl God :)

[alkigirl]

well i thought of Him first but by the way she said it i firgured it was another gospel singer:))

[Califacience]

By the way an idol is of course a false god, that's why i said i shouldn't have used the term.

We use the word all the time without thinking of it's meaning.

[alkigirl]

yeah i know thanks:) and thank you for telling me about Jennifer Knapp, Jesus bless you xx

[Califacience]

Sure thing .and by the way, Margaret Becker is Knapp's biggest (Christian) influence...but I think i'll stop now lol.

[ForEverAChildOfGod8]

example: American Idol

[johannenordilus]

I really enjoy the fact that she sings to the Lord when she performs its a great encouragement to me to dedicate all that I do wholeheartedly for Him.

[simplysarah85]

[alkigirl]

5:51 - 5:56 ... WOW!!!!!

[Oceanwithin7]

Small intimate gatherings like this are very special to Jesus and yes, he is listening to you. A+ ♥

[beshxo]

Incredible.

[Elemenopee787]

This is beautiful.

[crayolabrandcrayons]

it's so amazing how Jesus refused to condemn even the greediest of thieves and the sinful of prostitutes.

[torndownband]

this song is so powerful, beth is such an effortless singer, God has given her a fantastic gift!

[ghotiandfish]

this song I can listen at all times... no matter what phase in my life at the end of the song I always realize it is the truth...

[guitargirlbm]

"you sit at the table with the wounded and the poor...you laugh and share stories with the thief and the hore..you are on our side!!!"

[Roquera4sure]

Bethany i luv ur music.Your songs r so amazing n u have a beautiful voice. :)

[nicochico12]

What an amazing song!!

[wacopacco]

+100

[dnorak]

stunning musicality and passion...very spirit-filled. Wow! Bethany has to be one of the most underrated Christian musicians. She really needs a live album, because that's where she really shines.

[bluebri272]

you have an incredibly powerful ministry. thank you for sharing a piece of God's love with me today.

[kinguci2]

very nice :) god bless you Bethany,,,

[ikkakuguy]

Incredibly powerful.

[halotwelvemusic]

Bethany, Thank you for using your gift for the kingdom.

[ClaraRenee]

Thankyou Jesus for such a beautiful song...

[AceTew]

she was referencing a conversation we had had earlier that night... kinda like an inside joke.

[toucheyang]

i dont get the bomb joke?

[julsers]

wow... I love this song... praise God!

[guitarstrummer9009]

This song relates to me so much...I just recently left my church and I want to go back, but I know I can't.

[valleyofvision]

you can always go back!

[guitarstrummer9009]

I can't go back because they would completely ignore me and it won't be the same. One of the reasons I left was because I wasn't the person who my pastor had in mind to do God's will. He wanted someone strong, handsome, speaks well, tall, and favored, not someone who's weak, poor, not so attractive, and shy. I feel horrible for abandoning God's will but what's the use if Iam not favored by God's people.

[valleyofvision]

it is never about being favored by God's people...Jesus was said to be a man who was not attractive - if those were the criteria that your church was looking for, it sounds to me like you need to find a more solid church... return to a flock - make sure they are reliant on the WORD of God. One misled church is not a reflection of "God's people" as a whole - nor is it an excuse to not be responsible for responding and obeying the Lord in seeking fellowship.

[guitarstrummer9009]

Thanks for your encouragement, I'll try. You are an example of a true Christian, thank you.

[Felkster8877]

Have no idea whats been going on in your life before or since you wrote this but your pastor needs to read his Bible more and realise that God often chooses people who aren't the "favourites" of society to do his work. In fact it says that Jesus himself was not particularly good looking in order that people would not desire him (I presume that means in a lustful sense) So you do what you know God wants you to do regardless of what you look like. Its for God ... not your pastor or church!

[nomad2131]

what in this song makes you think that she didn't get that point??? That's what the whole song is about... She's not saying that that isn't God's way but that she's amazed and grateful that it is.

[Felkster8877]

I was replying to guitarstrummer and whatever was going on in their life.....not referring to Bethany Dillon and what she was saying. I know she gets that point. For some reason it didnt post the comment I wrote where it was suppossed to fall.

[cantstopfalling]

Moses stuttered horribly, and he was so oblivious to God, that God literally had to light a bush on fire to get his attention, yet look at how much he shook his world for God.I will be praying for you soo much!

God, Just let your love surround Guitarstrummer, god fill him your prescence, give him your boldness god.Change this world through him!I just release that creative spirit in him right now father.I just pray that you consume him, Jesus!I just put a death to any lies spoken over him!!AMEN!

[guitarstrummer9009]

Thank you, really. It was nice for you to do that, you didn't have to =). I just hope others can understand me more like you do. Thanks.

[LauraAbbie]

i loveee this song

shes so greattt =D

-God bLESS

[starethemonsterdown]

this is an amazing song, really helps when you feel completely hopeless and like God can never forgive you or love you

[italianstallion311]

You know what's really scary is now moronic people can be about the Bible and Jesus. Hey whole27, I can "rationally" through science, archaeology, and historical documents prove to you that they are both very real and true. I guess the question is do you listen to the facts? Or do you choose to remain ignorant?

[whole27]

it's scary how these delusional jesus freaks can be so irrational to believe in the fictional bible..very scary....jesus camps...their brainwashing our children...making them irrational!!!

[toucheyang]

how can you call it a fictional bible when its the most accurately written book with over 40 authors over centuries and centuries with the same concept thats accurately backed up by centuries of old documents of history?

we dont just have faith, we have proof.only and uninformed who has done no research whatsover would come to that conclusion.

since when is irrational to teach childernt o "love your neighbors,obey thy mother/father,do not steal,lie,kill, etc?"seriously?

[Melissa1bee]

That's really great. Thanks!

[pattym1995]

Me too! We're really not all that different then are we?

[pattym1995]

(this was supposed to be a response to fedeman2)

[honey0pot]

she's beautifullu fresh and natural

[fedeman2]

she's a jesus freak, right?

[pattym1995]

I'm proud to be a Jesus "freak" if that's what you want to call us who love & worship the only one who will be standing by you when no one else does. What kind of "freak" are you?

[fedeman2]

a music, art, knowlage, truth -freak

[ClaraRenee]

Thankyou whoever recorded this, its wonderful

[AceTew]

you are very welcome.. it's my favorite song of hers. And yes,... it is Psalm 147

[cantstopfalling]

I think it's Pslams 147:2-3

[totallyturtles]

Bethany has such a beautiful heart!

[ifiok25]

This is a great song. What passage in Psalms did she read from?

[cantstopfalling]

psalms 147 2-3

[bethanydillfan]

God has NOT forgoten your husband... that's right. I'm so happy that you know that. Keep him in your prayers constantly.. God has a plan for your life... and its during these dry seasons in your walk with Christ that He will bring you closer to Him.

Keep Seeking Him in all you do!

[jmanguitars]

This song sounds amazing played live...awesome!

[Danilala102]

o wow

[sdguardiani]

My husband has turned his back on God and I have fervently been standing for him, praying that he returns first to God, then to his family. Tonight he told me that he is going to file divorce papers. I came to the internet for a bit of hope and this song has sent tears streaming down my face. My husband is the runaway. But God hasn't forgotten him--and there is no place that he can run to where God can't meet him. It is only a matter of God's timing. Thank you so much for this song!

[bethaniemcdonald]

Wow...the joy of the Lord is your strength...you inspire me so much!..."I waited patiently for the Lord and He came to me and heard my cry"...the Lord hears your cry and He is with you.."He gives hope to the hopeless"..."by faith ALL things are possible"..God is calling your husband and when your husband returns to Him...I believe that God will restore everything the enemy tried to destroy...and your so right..God's timing is everything!...much love...me

[atilatgm]

I'll pray for you today. =)

[NinjaJack]

So will I

[sdguardiani]

God works in mysterious ways! A week after this post we got our taxes back and we owe about $2,000. So, any money for the divorce just went to Uncle Sam. I can't say I have ever thanked God for taxes. He has proven Himself ever faithful! This past weekend my husband spent the day with us, his family. It was peaceful. My God is amazing! He is doing his great work in my husband-his prodigal son.

[Crysz19]

Wow....I'm really sorry to hear that...I'll be praying for you...

[cattieloves]

Tears are streaming down my face right now. I've been going through this thing where I just really need to hear God's voice, I need to hear Him say He loves me and that I'm worth something to Him, and then I come across this. I was reading Psalm 147 at the same time...There are no words.

[honey0pot]

...I'm speechless- GOD is awesome!

[odpcyouth]

man.. just listening to this at the library on headphones makes me shake and feel God's presence. she is so gifted...

[maythefew]

Verse: C-Am C-Am F (2x) or however many times needed Prechorus - Chorus: F Am F Am G F Am G Am F  G C-Am Riff In the verse, all the C to Am's are all that little hammer riff: C(032030)->(032010) Am(002213) or (002013) whichever Am7 is easier for ya

[maythefew]

its either capo 5 or 6

[guitarstrummer9009]

Thanks for posting the tabs! I've been looking all around for them and couldn't find them to perform it at church. God Bless!!!!

[guitarstrummer9009]

One more question, what are the tabs to the thing after her second chorus and her fingering to the F and G?

[maythefew]

so, at the end of the second chorus

instead of F G C, its F G then right into

Am -- F -- C -- G

for each of the chords she just hammers on some sustains and some variations

[guitarstrummer9009]

Thanks!!!

[cattieloves]

it's 6 :)

[kupopo1]

There are no minor chords, as far as I can tell. Here's what I play these days, with capo 6:

Verse:

G(320033) for 3 bars, C for 1 bar

Chorus:

C D G

C D G

(C) G C D G

C G D G

For the G chord in the verse, you want to slip in a Gsus4(320013) on some of the upbeats.

[kupopo1]

Scratch that chorus: I always transpose it for some reason. It's actually

F G C

F G C

(F) C F G C

F C G Gsus4

[cattieloves]

That's not what she's playing, from what I can gather. :)

It's capo 6, and the C-Am thing is definitely not right (the chorus I'm not sure about).

From what I've figured out so far, the beginning is a modified G: 0300(1,3)3. In the parentheses, what I was trying to say was to put a finger on the first and the third fret for a quick change when the note changes.

[maythefew]

the chord you just tabbed is a modified C not a G

[cattieloves]

Nope...

Check out kupopo's version of the tab, it's the closest here, as far as I can tell.

[maythefew]

haha

i promise im not trying to get into an argument on Youtube over such a beautiful song.

but if you just look at her hand shape, its definitely in the key of C. what kupopo tabbed at first is in the key of G which can be better sung by a guy. he changed the chorus back to the key of C, but didnt do so for the verse.

i wont say anything more heh

[Arnold10chavez]

i love this girl¡¡ i love her voice, i love everything¡¡¡

[dd69r]

I was so there!! It was amazing!!

[one1truth]

incredible

[elizabethann313]

I've always loved this song... I love even more now that I've seen this!

[matteus2007]

wow, what a wonderful song. Jesus loves us so much as to save us even though we are so undeserving of it. This song really carries the heart of Rich Mullins with it

[fuzzydirector]

it leaves me speechless... words cannot describe the annointing she has when she plays.

[SarahhhTheAsian]

this is an AMAZING song. it made me cry. =]

[kupopo1]

I absolutely love this song. I believe it's Gsus4 and G for the intro. There's a bit of Cm between the phrases in the verse, and then the chorus sounds like it's mostly C, D, and G. I'm surely missing a few, but these are pretty passable. Of course these are all capo'd 6 (key of C#), so they're really C#, F# and G#, respectively, making the sound a bit more exotic.

[yellowtowhite]

do u play the guitar or sing or do anything like that becuase it really seems like u know ur chords and i mean really well and i mean i coiuld probably name a few off but u WOW

[guitarstrummer9009]

I was wondering if you could post the full song with chords because nowhere else has them.Thanks

[guitarstrummer9009]

Could you post the chords?

[guitarstrummer9009]

[guitarstrummer9009]

[bethanydillfan]

[AceTew]

she said... "and speaking of bombs" ... she was referring to a conversation we had had earlier that night.
