• You Have To Be There

You have banished me
From the land where I was born
Here upon a foreign shore forsaken
I have followed you and done thy way

Should I kneel to you
When I rise you strike me down
Once again a little one you've taken
Everywhere I turn is darker still

What is it Lord that you want that I am not seeing?
What in my innocent 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 rising 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

Who when I die will throw open his arms to receive me?
Who will believe me and take me into his embrace?
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 to my heart
Little by little I'm losing my way in the shadows
I am losing my hold 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 rising 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
Without you I'd drown in the deep
Too far, too far from land
The waters drag me down
I reach for your hand
