lyrics

When Light is Dark, When days grow long
When I can hear a voice, but cannot find the song.
I close my eyes.
I say a prayer.
I look to you, and you are there.

When there is pain, I cannot shake…
When there is rain upon the road I choose to take.
When there is fear, I cannot bear.
I look to you and you are there.

And even when I stumble, you are there.
When strength begins to crumble, you are there.
No matter what is going wrong.
I know deep down it wont be long….
You’ll send my soul a song, ‘cause you are there.

And when my heart is broken, you are there.
When healing words are spoken, you are there.
And just like that, for all to see…
The music is inside of me.
You set my spirit free, ‘cause you are there.

Oh, Ki ata imadi (Because You are with me)
Oh, Ki ata imadi (Because You are with me)

Let the whole world sing out, HALLELUJAH
And though the world’s divided – you are there.
When souls can feel unguided – you are there.
And suddenly you see the road.
You gently take our heavy load.
And tell us there’s no burden we can’t bear together.

For every season’s turn, you’ll still be there.
As generations turn, you’ll still be there.
No matter what the ___________ bring, our winter hopes will find their spring.
We’ll find a song to sing, for you’ll be there.

Oh, Ki ata imadi (Because You are with me)
Oh, Ki ata imadi (Because You are with me)

Let the whole world sing out, HALLELUJAH
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Let the whole world sing out, HALLELUJAH
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hebrew line
You are there.
