Susan Boyle - You Have To Be There lyrics

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
