Susan Boyle - 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
