I Will Be There

I WILL BE THERE ~ PHIL KEAGGY

I will be there when you cry,
I will be there when you need me,
I will be there when you fall,
I will be there all the time.

There's a road stretching out
And it leads to your desired haven.
Don't look back and don't you fear
Cause I'll be there.

I will be there when you cry,
I will be there when you need me,
I will be there when you fall,
I will be there all the time.

When you feel like giving up
And you fall on your knees in desperation
There's a strength beyond compare
Cause I'll be there.

You can believe it's true, cause I'll be there
I'll never leave or desert you
Through trials and temptations, oh I will be there,
I'll be there through the darkness, just call me.

Your every heartbeat, well I give to you
And every breath you breath I give to you
And when you're weary and you can't go on
Just look up anywhere
Cause I'll be there. I'll be there.

I will be there, I will be there
Every time you need me.
When you fall, when you fall, and I'll pick you up.

On that road stretching out
And it leads to your desired haven
Don't look back and don't you fear
Cause I'll be there.

I've been on this road a long long time ago,
And I lead you now to your desired haven.
Don't look back, but do draw near
Cause I'll be here, yes I'll be here,
You know I'll be here.

Saw Phil Keaggy in concert again last night. I forgot (I guess you do when you don't listen for a while) how comforting it can be to hear important words sung to you. Words that you want to believe, but don't always feel. This is a very peaceful song with reminders of the loving presence of God, especially through the people who love me. Maybe that's what I needed most to hear, and to keep hearing in the worrying times of my life.
And its what I want to promise those around me...just as a reminder that we all need each other.
