Grupu Tenth Avenue North 2000.gadā nodibināja vairāki Palmbīčas Atlantijas universitātes studenti. Sākotnēji grupā muzicēja Mike Donehey, Jason Jamison un Bryan Homan. Pašreiz grupā spēlē Mike Donehey (vokāls, akustiskā ģitāra), Jeff Owen (ģitāra, fona vokāls), Rubeb Juarez III (basģitāra, fona vokāls), Brendon Shirley (taustiņinstrumenti) un Jason Jamison (bungas). Grupas nosaukums cēlies no Palmbīčas lielākās ielas nosaukuma.

Tenth Avenue North izdeva vairākus pašfinansētus albumus, līdz 2007.gadā izgāja nacionālajā arēnā un noslēdza kontraktu ar kompāniju Reunion Records, kas 2008.gadā laida klajā grupas albumu Over and Underneath. Sekoja koncerttūre pa visu Ameriku. Vēlākajos gados grupa koncertējusi kopā ar tādām kristīgās mūzikas zvaigznēm kā David Crowder Band, Casting Crowns, MercyMe un Third Day. 2009.gadā grupa pirmoreiz tika nominēta Dove balvai kategorijā „Gada labākie jaunie mākslinieki”. Grupas dalībnieki ir arī aktīvi žēlsirdības organizācijas Compassion International biedri, sponsorējot nabadzīgus bērnus jaunattīstības zemēs.

Come to the waters, you who thirst and you’ll thirst no more.
Come to the father, you who work and you’ll work no more.
And all you who labor in vain and to the broken and shamed:

Love is here.
Love is now.
Love is pouring from
His hands, from his brows.
Love is near, it satisfies.
Streams of mercy flowing from his side.
Cuz love is here.

Come to the treasure, you who search and you’ll search no more.
Come to the lover you who want and you’ll want no more, no.
And all you who labor in vain and to the broken and shamed, yeah

Love is here.
Love is now.
Love is pouring from his hands, from his brows.
Love is near, it satisfies.
Streams of mercy flowing from his side.

Yeah

And to the bruised and fallen,
Captives, bound, and broken hearted.
He is the lord
He is the lord,
Yeah
By his stripes he’s paid our ransom
From his wounds we drink salvation
He is the lord
He is the lord

Love is here.
Love is now.
Love is pouring from his hands, from his brows.
Love is near,
It satisfies.
Streams of mercy flowing from his side.
Streams of mercy flowing from his side.
Cuz love is here
Love is here.
