Toronto Christian artist Ileen Laura releases her hopeful and inspiring new single “Sit Beside Me” which documents the process she and her husband went through as they figured out how to prioritize her music career amid their family responsibilities.
“Back in 2020, the pandemic had just become a reality,” the singer/songwriter recalls. “Schools were shut down and, as a high school music teacher, this meant planning for school music concerts and festivals was put on pause.”

Lyrics: SIT BESIDE ME
Let’s take a minute to find the words before,
Things just get out of our hands and we shut the door.
I’m going to the church steps where I’ll hear him preach,
You can sit beside me and we can hear him teach.
Sing with all of your might,
Let all of the words fall out of your mouth,
Hear the bells let them ring for all of the lost, lost souls.
Let’s just get out of our heads and try to feel,
What it is He needs to give us to help this heal.
And I will sing all the church hymns let there be singing,
The heavens can hear us calling let there be healing.
There’s always a light in the dark,
There’s always faith no matter the part.
Sing with all of your might,
Let all of the words fall out of your mouth,
Hear the bells let them ring for all of the lost, lost souls.
Oh and me, I’ll be at the church steps singing out la, la, la!
Come and sit beside me and we can be free, free, free!
Hear the bells let them ring,
Oh and me, I’ll be at the church steps singing out la, la, la!
Come and sit beside me and we can be free, free, free!
