You Have To Be There

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 who will open His arms to receive me? Who will forgive me and take me and show me His face? When I have gone to my rest, will You watch me and wake me? When my time comes at last, will You grant me your grace? I am so small on this Earth, I am nothing without you Daring to doubt You at all is a knife through my heart Little by little I’m losing my way in the shadows I am losing my hope and the world falls apart 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 You have to be there, You have to Too far, too far from land The waters drag me down I reach for your hand
