Why weren't you here when my world fell apart?
Lord, that's when I needed you here.
I wanted you with me when life all seemed dark.
When faith was corrupted by fear.
But, though I was lonely, it seemed that you heard;
Though distant, you felt for my pain.
I reached for the comfort that comes from your word
And the faint light of hope glowed again.
Lord, you are the resurrection
Lord, you are the life
And because you live in me
I will live in you
You are the Way
You are the Truth
Lord, you are the Life
The Resurrection.
When things seem so bad that they couldn't get worse
And reason leads me to despair,
It's then I discover that you've been there first
And you've already answered my prayer.
Lord, you are the resurrection (etc)
You know the agony, you know the pain
Of loneliness, torture and fear
But you have the power to rise up again
And conquer the pangs of despair.
Lord, you are the resurrection (etc)
