Lyrics
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
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 forgive me and take me into his embrace?
When I have gone 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 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 my world falls apart
You have to be there, You have to
My life I have placed in Thy keep
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
