Take your part

"I'll take your part when darkness comes."

Does 'I'll take your part' mean 'I'll support you'?

Thanks

In some way, I guess. "take part" means "to join the activity, to be involved in something". I'm going to take part in the sailing which comes next year.

"take your part" is like "be on your side", "stand up for you", "speak in your favor", even, perhaps, "be your representative", "take over for you if you are unable to do so yourself".
"support you" is not really a bad paraphrase.

"take your part" is not the same as "take part", however.

Thank you, CalifJim. "take your part = take your side" is suitable here, isn't it?
