Susan Boyle ‘You Have To Be There’ LYRICS, Video

Susan Boyle performed ‘You Have To Be There’ (lyrics below) on America’s Got Talent last night. ‘You Have to Be There’ is Boyle’s new single from an upcoming album. Performing with an orchestra and backed up by a choir, Susan Boyle pulled all the stops for this debut performance of her latest single. And the result was amazing. Two years after winning Britain’s Got Talent, Boyle has come a long way from her small village Scotland.

Lyrics of ‘You Have To Be There’ as sung by Susan Boyle
America’s Got Talent Season 6 (Aug 31, 2011)

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
