Description
"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 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 untill 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 in 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.

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 on 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.
