I lie awake, I cannot feel
This hollowness within my heart
leaves me so hopeless.
How can this be, the pain’s so real?
Oh tell me why - my trials are
so very great!
I contemplate, how can it be
Why do the challenges of life
all seem so hard now?
Why is it so, I need to know
if there is someone there
to listen to my plea.
Are you out there?
Am I alone?
When I reach out and turn around,
Will I find you there?
Tell me I can, tell me I can.
Oh give me strength
give me the courage that I lack.
I hear you say,
Please don’t despair.
There is someone, who really cares,
Who truly loves you.
Yes, I am here! I am here!
Yes, I’m your Lord, your dear kind friend,
Please let me comfort you with my love.
In times of need reach out your hand
and let me lift you up just as only I can.
Have faith in me; I’m always there,
even when hope seems dim
I’m still here. I am here!
Yes, I’m your Lord, your loving friend,
Please let me comfort you with my love.
In times of need, reach out your hand
and let me lift you up just as only I can.
Have faith in me; reach for my love...
for I am always there, always there.
Ah, I am here!
Yes, He’s your Lord,
your loving friend,
please let Him comfort you with His love.
In times of need, reach out your hand
and let Him lift you up just as only He can.
Have faith in Him; reach for His love.
for He is always there, always there,
Ah, He is there!
