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 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
