YOU HAVE TO BE THERE

What is it more 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 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 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 Without you I'd drown in the deep Too far, too far from land The waters drag me down I reach for your hand
