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 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
