Borrow Mine Lyrics

Performed by Bebo Norman

Take my hand and walk with me a while
Cause it seems your smile has left you
And don't give in, when you fall apart
And your broken heart has failed you
I'll set a light up
On a hilltop
To show you my love
For this world to see

You can borrow mine
When your hope is gone
Borrow mine
When you can't go on
'Cause the world will not defeat you
When we're side by side
When your faith is hard to find
You can borrow mine

Take my love when all that you can see
Is the raging sea all around us
And don't give up 'cause I'm not letting go
And the God we know will not fail us
We'll lay it all down
As we call out
Sweet Savior
help our unbelief

You can borrow mine
When your hope is gone
Borrow mine
When you can't go on
'Cause the world will not defeat you
When we're side by side
When your faith is hard to find
You can borrow mine

When you are weak
Unable to speak
You are not alone
The God who has saved us
Will never forsake us
he's coming to take us
Take us to our home

You can borrow mine
When your hope is gone
Borrow mine
When you can't go on
'Cause the world will not defeat you
When we're side by side
When your faith is hard to find
When your faith is hard to find
You can borrow mine

Take my hand
Take my love
Don't give in
Don't give up

Here's how Borrow mine is biblical | Reviewer: ChrisL | 4/18/11

In Luke 5:17-20, Jesus heals the paralysed man because of the faith of the men who carried him, and lowered him through the roof (look it up!). What the paralysed man was incapable of doing himself, his friends helped him with.
Another interesting exercise is to consider the many "One Another" phrases that are spread throughout the bible. eg....
comfort one another
love one another
bear with one another (etc. - look them up!)
...all of these show that strength/encouragement can be shared - so for me "borrow mine" is a perfectly legitimate phrase to express that biblical truth.

Extend yourself to those in need... | Reviewer: Anonymous | 7/1/07

being in the healthcare industry, i should say that this is a very uplifting song... literally, my patients borrow strength from me but in a deeper sense, they also borrow my zest for life. and i always end up praying to the Lord to give me strength to help the weak. and when i feel homesick, my patients let me feel a sense of family in that brief instance i am with them too. so, in essence, borrowing is possible... we each borrow from the other something to keep us going in our journey through life...

This song is about encouraging others.... | Reviewer: Patty | 4/5/07

I differ with Ed. He says it's not Biblical. Actually, this reminds me of when the Israelites held up Moses' arms when they were in battle. He couldn't do it on his own and he needed his people's help. We all need each other and we are to encourage one another daily--to me this is encouraging, when we don't have any of our own, someone will lift us up.

This song is amazing... :O) | Reviewer: Anonymous | 10/18/06

This song, "Borrow Mine" is simply a statement of what kind of a light we can be to others when we have faith and hope in God. What a testament it is to the love of Christ shining out to others from our own faith and belief in Him. When we believe, this light is a gift to others, making them more joyful, strengthened by the love of God through us. When they are failing, when they are weak, we can be God's strength for them; this is what he means by 'borrowing our strength and hope' accepting it and being flooded with it from God Himself through us. We are the way God reaches to others when they have lost thier faith. Amen!

Not sure about this song.... | Reviewer: Ed | 4/4/06

Maybe someone could enlighten me, but this song doesn't give the sense of being biblically accurate. Where and how can we attain faith and strength by proxy? Sure it's a great 'friend' song, but as much as I would like to give my friends faith and strength, that's not possible. Nor is it possible for me to receive their faith and strength.
