\n<\/strong>
\nKristina <\/strong>
\nYou have banished me
\nFrom the land where I was born
\nHere upon a foreign shore, forsaken
\nI have followed you and done Thy will
\nShould I kneel to you?
\nWhen I rise You strike me down
\nOnce again a little one you’ve taken
\nEverywhere I turn it’s darker still<\/p>\n

What is it, Lord, that you want
\nAnd that I am not seeing?
\nWhat, in my innocent prayers,
\nAm I failing to say?<\/p>\n

Never before have I questioned
\nThe truth of your being
\nNever once have I dared
\nNever until today<\/p>\n

All of a tremble I stand
\nOn the edge of confusion
\nWho is to save me
\nIf into the darkness I fall?<\/p>\n

Now that I need more than ever
\nMy God to be near me
\nDo you here when I call?
\nAre you there, after all?<\/p>\n

You have to be there, you have to
\nMy life I have placed in thy keep
\nAnd without you I am drifting
\nOn a dark and rising sea<\/p>\n

You have to be there, you have to
\nWithout you I drown in the deep
\nToo far, too far from land
\nThe waters drag me down
\nI reach for your hand<\/p>\n

Who, when I die, will throw open
\nHis arms to receive me?
\nWho will believe me and take me
\ninto his embrace?<\/p>\n

When I have gone to my rest
\nWill you watch me and wake me?
\nWhen my time comes at last
\nWill you grant me your grace?<\/p>\n

I am so small on this earth
\nI am nothing without you
\nDaring to doubt you at all
\nTurns a knife in my heart<\/p>\n

Little by little I’m losing my way
\nIn the shadows
\nI am losing my hold
\nAnd the world falls apart<\/p>\n

You have to be there, you have to
\nMy life I have placed in thy keep
\nAnd without you I am drifting
\nOn a dark and rising sea<\/p>\n

You have to be there, you have to
\nWithout you I drown in the deep
\nToo far, too far from land
\nThe waters drag me down
\nI reach for your hand<\/p>\n

And without you I am drifting
\nOn a vast and rising sea
\nYou have to be there, you have to
\nWithout you I drown in the deep
\nToo far, too far from land
\nThe waters drag me down
\nI reach for your hand<\/p>\n
