You Have To Be There Lyrics

Kristina
You have banished me
From the land where I was born
Here upon a foreign shore, forsaken,
I have followed You and done Thy will
Should I kneel to you?
When I rise You strike me down
Once again a little one you've taken
Everywhere I turn it's darker still What is it, Lord, that you want
And 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
And without you I am drifting
On a dark and rising sea You have to be there, you have to
Without you I drown in the deep
Too far, too far from land
The waters drag me downKristina - You Have To Be There - http://motolyrics.com/kristina/you-have-to-be-there-lyrics.html
I reach for your hand Who, when I die, will throw open
His arms to receive me?
Who will believe me and take me
Into his embrace? When I have gone to my rest
Will you watch me and wake me?
When my time comes at last
Will you grant me your grace? I am so small in 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 hold
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 rising sea You have to be there, you have to
Without you I drown in the deep
Too far, too far from land
The waters drag me down
I reach for your hand And without you I am drifting
On a vast and rising sea
You have to be there, you have to
Without you I drown in the deep
Too far, too far from land
The waters drag me down
I reach for your hand
