|
You have banished me |
|
From the land where I was born |
|
Here upon a foreign shore forsaken |
|
I have followed you |
|
And gone thy way |
|
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 Lord 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'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 believe me and take me into his embrace? |
|
And 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 home and the world fall 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 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 |
|
And 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 |
