What is it Lord that you want
|
That I am not seeing?
|
What in my ignorant prayers
|
Am I failing to say?
|
Never before have I questioned the truth of your being
|
Never once have I dared
|
Never until today
|
|
All of a tremble
|
I stand on the edge of confusion
|
Who is to save me
|
If into the darkness I fall?
|
Now that I need more than ever my God to be near me
|
Do you hear when I call?
|
Are you there after all?
|
|
You have to be there, you have to
|
My life I have placed in thy keep
|
And without you I am drifting on a dark and stormy sea
|
You have to be there, you have to
|
Without you I'd drown in the deep
|
Too far, too far from land
|
The waters drag me down
|
|
I reach for your hand
|
And when I die will throw open his arms to receive me?
|
Who will forgive me and take me and show me his face?
|
When I go to my rest, who will watch me and wake me?
|
When my time comes at last, will you grant me your grace?
|
I am so small of this Earth, I am nothing without you
|
Daring to doubt you at all turns a knife in my heart
|
Little by little I'm losing my way in the shadows
|
I am losing my hope and the world falls apart
|
|
You do have to be there, you have to
|
My life I have placed in thy keep
|
And without you I am drifting on a dark and stormy sea
|
You have to be there, you have to
|
Without you I'd drown in the deep
|
Too far, too far from land
|
The waters drag me down
|
I reach for your hand
|
|
You have to be there, you have to
|
Too far, too far from land
|
The waters drag me down
|
I reach for your hand
|

You Have To Be There
