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
