Lord, when I am in the valley and the waters begin to rise, Let this not be the day of my demise.
When I should rejoice on the mountain top so high, Even there my soul seems empty and dry.
Can't You see what's happening to me?
Is this the way You want it to be?
You can see what a turmoil my life is in, And You know it is not because of sin.
Lord, I know there is no one like You.
Why must all these things I continue to go through?
Can't there be a little joy also along the way?
Are my troubles going to be worse tomorrow than today?
Can't You see what is going on down here?
Don't You any longer care?
In my eyes is there left one more tear?
So when Lord my cry are You going to hear?
You said for us to draw near to You. That is what I have been trying to do.
But when I seek You, You seem to get farther away.
Won't You help me, or in heaven are You going to stay?
Lord, where did Your love go?
I wish You would tell me; I sure would like to know.
I wish You would come to my rescue.
Do You even know how much I need You?
In Me you have made your abode, And down life's path we both have strode.
Don't worry about those things you will face.
I will be there with all My power and grace.

Without You, Lord, there would be no song, And everything that could would go wrong.
If You had not died for me, On the road to hell I would be.
If You had not come and Your love shown, The Truth, I never would have known.
If You had not died on that tree, On the road to hell I would be.
If You had not come and died, There would be no Word to rightly divide.
If You did not care about me, On the road to hell I would be.
If You had not come to this earth, I would not know of the new birth.
What then would happen to me?
On the road to hell I would be.
If You had not come to die,
No need to seek You, no need to try.
What would become of me?
On the road to hell I would be.
If You had not come and died, In You I could never abide.
There would be no hope for me.
On the road to hell I would be.
"From the beginning I knew what I would do.
I knew I would have to die for you.
There was no one else God could send but Me.
No longer on the road to hell, do you have to be.
